Contemplative Figure Workshop March 26th 2021

6-week tutor lead online workshop

Places still available

The large sculptures are inspired by the work of modern sculptors, such as Barbara Hepworth and Sir Henry Moore.

The felt sculptures I teach on this course will measure about 12″/30cm – 18″/45cm in height, dependent on the shape and position.

This is a very energetic wet felt process that involves manual shaping and felting, plus a sander and steamer to finish.
