Felt Art Critter 3D - online workshop
Online wet felting class about “Hollow forms”
In this online class I teach how to make a sculptural critter in wet felting techniques.
You will learn :
how to make a seamless hollow form
create eyes & lids
add a flap to form a crest or fin
how to make high quality felt
and sculpture an original, one of a kind, arty bird or fish like critter.
This online wet felting class is advised for advanced felt makers
Even so I always explain step by step what I’m doing, I would recommend this workshop to students who already have good basics in wet felting. Otherwise it may be hard to follow as we will work quickly.
If you are a beginner you may take my “Sculptural felt vessels” workshop first or you join taking notes to make the critter on your own rhythm after the class.
Original template included in workshop prize
When signing into this class you get one of my orignal templates in 1:1 size ready to be printed. This template has to be cut out from bubble wrap or better polyethylene foam (this is the plastic used under laminated floors for isolation purposes)
