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. |

30th Surface Design Association Conference Contact: Carolyn Kallenborn, Conference Coordinator tel:816-741-1018 Kansas City Art Institute Email: cmkalen@earthlink.net http://www.surfacedesign.org 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. |
