“Beyond Resist” – Marjolein Dallinga – June 16-20, 2025
This 5-day workshop, Beyond Resist, will deepen the consciousness about experiences learned from sculpting with wool and other fibers. Explorations will allow us to become more aware of how and why we want to use this medium. This workshop is inspired by different ideas on how to make three dimensional sculptures, making form from conceptional, intuitive and sensual sources.
We will explore different techniques for creating sculptural form, with themes like folding and unfolding, building relief, clamping, and binding. We will play with the processes of shortening, thickening, tightening and shrinking and other transformations of the felted surfaces. From our playful experiences, new discoveries occur when we work with this surprising medium of wool.
