Language: Bilingual

Difficulty: All levels

Category: Felting

In this workshop, you will learn to explore a variety of sculptural ideas while developing creative awareness through folding and unfolding techniques. You will experiment with materials using sculptural felting methods and discover how texture, form, and movement can transform your artistic expression. The workshop also encourages a deeper approach to the creative process by emphasizing exploration, intuition, and artistic development rather than focusing solely on the final result.

What you leave with: Your wool sculpture

Prerequisites

None

What is provided (for the duration of the workshop)

All fabrics, material, wools, silks and nylon threads in order to explore the techniques will be provided by the teacher.

What to bring

Participants are asked to bring a roll of small-bubble bubble wrap (60 cm x 2 m), a notebook and pencil, one large old towel and one hand towel, a bar of natural soap such as olive oil soap (no liquid soap), paper and fabric scissors (preferably small pointed scissors), two old nylon stockings or elastic bands, needles with large eyes, a squeezable 500 ml water bottle or felting bulb, a measuring tape, a 60 cm rolling tool such as a pool noodle or sturdy cardboard tube, as well as two 2-liter plastic containers, such as ice cream tubs.

TEACHER

Marjolein Dallinga


Marjolein Dallinga was born in the Netherlands, where she studied Fine Arts. In 1989, she moved to Montreal, Canada, to pursue her artistic career by creating art books and jewelry. While raising a family, her creativity led her to make toys and teach art classes, which also introduced her to felting — a medium in which she now works extensively.

The world-renowned CIRQUE DU SOLEIL became interested in Marjolein’s work, and over the past five years she has experimented with felt in costume design while also creating finished pieces for their productions.

Marjolein runs her own business, Bloomfelt.com, and works from her studio, which includes sewing and dyeing rooms. She has taught felting for fifteen years throughout North and South America, Europe, and Australia. Last year, she won three awards for costumes she created for WOW (World of WearableArt) in New Zealand.
