SPIRAL SCULPTURE ONLINE WORKSHOP

2 times 6 hours long online course with Judit Pócs, on Saturday and Sunday, the 1st
and 2nd of June, both days from 5pm to 11pm (Central European Time).

6 + 6 hours live sessions

Come and make a Spiral sculpture with me! It enhances the atmosphere of the
apartment by hanging it in the space or placing it on a pedestal.

I recommend this course for beginners and advanced alike.

About the workshop

In this course, we will make a hollow sculpture where the lamellae run in a spiral line around the form. We will use wool batts for the inner layers of the sculpture, and wool
rovings (wool tops) for the outer layers. With the right choice of color, we can achieve a nice contrast effect between the body of the sculpture and the lamellas. We will use Saran wrap to achieve the lamellas.

What will you learn?

  •  making of a hollow object
  • creating a spiral lamella
  • basic felting technique
  •  color design and blending
  •  the right fulling method
  •  shaping the sculpture
  • hardening of the lamellae with starch
