I love your figurative work. Do you ever use a resist to make the 3 D figure then put in the armature ? Your description said you lay fibers onto then felt. Such smooth surface you have Bravo.
Hi Susan – Thank you!
– no I don’t use a resist. I create a wire ‘skeleton ‘ and then place layers of wool around it and wet felt them to make the musculature. The colourful skin is made separately and stitched onto the figure and then made smooth with the final shaping using lots of soap and hot water.
I will be working on plans for workshops later this year as have been invited to teach at the 2019 Felters Fling USA .
Best wishes

The figures in the two Hoxton pieces do not have a separate skin – the top layer of felt is finished with soap, steam and a sander.
