Shaping Space with Flax Fiber - ONLINE
Learn how to create stunning three-dimensional fiber sculpture during this engaging two-day ONLINE workshop. You will have the opportunity to transform natural flax roving into beautiful, richly textured paper, which you can then apply over a mould that you create using materials such as wire, plaster cloth, wire mesh, or cordage. Once dried, the sculpture can be further embellished with ink and stitching techniques to enhance its beauty. Additionally, inclusions like colorful thread or organic plant material can be added during the papermaking process to provide extra depth and texture.
This workshop is thoughtfully designed to include a combination of live demonstrations, group discussions, and an interactive creative process during each session, allowing time for you to work on your individual projects between sessions. The workshop meets from 9 AM to 1 PM MST each day via Zoom, providing a convenient online format. Please consider registering early to ensure that you have ample time to gather all the materials needed for the workshop. Upon registration, a comprehensive materials list will be emailed to you along with the Zoom link. All skill levels are welcome, so come and unleash your creativity!
