TUBULAR! A Masterclass in Felt Sculpture with Tubes

Step into the playful, sculptural world of tubular felt forms! In this four-day masterclass, you will design and create your own unique felt sculpture enriched with boldly textured tubes. The shared theme is “playing with tubes,” but every participant will develop a personal form and artistic direction.

We begin with a small sample piece, incorporating one or two tubes to get familiar with the techniques. Throughout the workshop, you’ll work with sponge rollers used for painting and soft foam tubes from plumbing insulation—our base forms for building the felt layer. These felt-covered tubes will then be integrated into your sculpture and firmly felted onto the surface.

To enrich the texture, you may work with Lyocell or silk fibers, yarns, or even shimmering sequin-fabric mosaics to create metallic effects. Contrasting textures bring exciting visual rhythm to the surface. Tubes may remain open and hollow, or—through a more complex process—the longer ones can be attached at both ends to different surfaces.

Tube-decorated sculptures can evoke a futuristic, slightly industrial atmosphere, or lean toward a more organic, natural feel depending on how you design the base shape.

Join us for four days of experimentation, structure, and sculptural exploration.

Be bold, be playful, be TUBULAR!
