A collaborative effort by Jorie Johnson (Kyoto, Japan) and Clifton Monteith (Lake Ann, Michigan) in the form of lacquered felt vessels will be included in the upcoming exhibition at the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts, Newbury Street, Boston, called “Timeless Vessels. We affectionately called these cutting edge objects our “Hairy Pottery but titled them the “Standing in the Fields series. Made solely from wool, flax, skeletal leaves and Japanese traditional lacquer techniques these objects truly capture the essence of nature where one finds the sheep in the fields encircled by trees, leaves, grasses and all.

Explore the felt matrix and the enormous possibilities of surface
expression available while working in the larger format of outerwear.
Such points as seamless construction, drapability, felt friendly closures,
and what makes a quality garment will be covered.
Participants will be expected to find, test, and bring fabrics and some wool, which will be used to reinforce structural, as well as, the visual impact of their designs. Think simple, striking, and characteristically felt functional (or welcome the other end of the spectrum of outrageous costume.)
Some experience with the medium will prove helpful to the participant.

Is your husband thinning a bit on top? Have you ever wanted long Rapunzel locks but lacked the patience to grow out your own hair? Ever wonder what exactly is the best use for that Mother’s Day present of the wooden holed spaghetti measure? This mystery, as well as, an in depth coverage of basic concepts in feltmaking (beads, ropes, bangles, badges, corsages, and lots more) will be introduced to build a personal vocabulary through exercise and experimentation. The aim is to create elements for sculptural accessories (as well as garment friendly closures.) We will cover after-dyeing and color shaping, as well as, work with applications for direct use on the body. Slide lecture and group work as usual. All levels welcome.
DEMO: A Feltmaker’s Bag of Tricks
Feltmaking has made an enormous leap from nomadic survival coverings to the 21st century realm of textile art, clothing, and accessories. Have you ever wonder about the process, or the capabilities of the medium within the transfer of fiber into fabric, or what a felting needle is? Through focusing on my pet attractions to the medium and explaining key points about the felted matrix I’d like to showcase what’s in the current Joi Rae Textiles studio trunk of tricks.

Seductive Surfaces in Feltmaking/Shifting Shapes is a diversified class introducing a variety of motif techniques involved with manipulating surface and shape during the felting and shrinking process. Slide shows will be used as departure points for daily themes. Group interaction will be emphasized in order to expand the variety of samples which will be shared at end of course. The techniques include qualities of wool fibers and their capabilities as felt fabrics, fiber blending, color mixing versus dyeing; tails, loops, and bobbles; windows; spider-lace and lattice work; flat braiding; edge-finishing techniques, and much more.
From two-dimensions into the three-dimensions of Shifting Shapes course follows for two days. Taking your new samples further into seamless shapes of unusual form we will discover the malleability of the fabric. We will practice with a treasure pouch and move into personal objects depending on time. Welcome participants with extensive beginner’s experience in feltmaking.
