Workshops

Felting in The Hague!

The workshops take place in my shop, which is also my studio. In this space I am normally busy making lamps and wall hangings but I also like to combine my work with meeting other people, like you, to teach about felting.

You can choose between different techniques like wet felting and needle felting, 2d or 3d. Or a combination of all techniques during the three day course. 

At the end of each workshop, you'll have enjoyed an educational and cheerful afternoon, and you'll take home a unique piece of art. If you're inspired to continue at home, you can purchase all the materials you need from my shop.

 

Cursus vilten in de zomervakantie!

4 verschillende technieken van 3 uur

Zin in vakantie in eigen land in combinatie met een workshop vilten? In de ochtend handen in de wol en in het sop en in de middag naar het strand. Kan erger! Je kan een ochtend meedoen of meerdere workshops boeken. Ook als je al een keer mee hebt gedaan kan je inhaken. Het is altijd leuk en je maakt sowieso iets moois. Er is geen ervaring nodig.

Je kunt je opgeven voor een of voor meerdere dagen. Elke dag leer je een andere techniek.

Dinsdag 18 aug you will learn how the felting process works. I explain all kinds of things about the wool, the technique and the possibilities. You will experience how it works by making your own little painting out of wool. During this lesson you can use the carding mill to mix colors and make a nice gradient in colors. You can also add details using the dry-felt technique.

Woensdag 19 aug laat ik zien hoe je een vaas of een fles kunt invilten. Neem een object mee dat je mooi vindt en geef het een eigen kleur of tekening. Mijn favoriete les omdat het resultaat altijd verrassend is. Als we tijd over hebben kunnen we ook nog wat vilten bloemen maken.

Dinsdag 25 aug leer je de techniek van het naaldvilten. Hierbij gebruik je geen water en zeep maar naalden met weerhaakjes. Het is verrassend hoe snel je de techniek onder de knie hebt en iets leuks kan maken. Tijdens de workshop maak je een 2d schilderijtje en een 3d object.

Woensdag 26 aug gaan we aan de slag met twee verschillende technieken. We combineren wol met een ander natuurlijk materiaal zoals stof en zijde en we gaan met naaldvlies aan de slag. Bij deze les leer je twee  technieken waarmee je een meer grafisch en abstract viltwerk kan maken.

 

Optioneel:  Als je iets moois hebt gemaakt komt het het best tot zijn recht als het is ingelijst. Neem wat lijstjes mee en samen bepalen we een mooie compositie en snijden we het werk bij zodat het ingelijst kan worden. Dit kunnen we de laatste dag doen.

Learning needle felting - 3 hours

In this workshop we use barbed needles to connect wool. So there is no water involved this time. It is a kind of modeling and drawing with wool. 

You can choose what you want to make. This can be 2D or 3D.

A self-portrait , a Christmas ball in the shape of a polar bear, a real looking apple, a felt flower, etc. If you want to recreate something, it is helpful to bring a photo. 

For this workshop you don't need any experience, just patience and some fine motor skills :). Once you get the hang of it you won't be able to stop!

You can also apply this technique to previously made felted works. This way you can combine wet felting with needle felting.

If you are enthusiastic then you can purchase items in the store to get started at home.
