Textile Open Studio: Felt and Weaving (ASC172 Summer)

A fantastic opportunity for learners with some textile experience to work on their projects in MAC’s Textile Studio.  

What will you learn on this course?

This is not a taught course but an opportunity for experienced learners to progress with their individual creative journey, supported by an artist tutor in a relaxed social environment. 

Tutor Penny Dixon can provide support and direction for a wide range of felting and weaving projects including: 
•    Fibre processing, carding, roving, and spinning using drop spindles
•    Constructed textile work
•    Traditional 2D wet felting  
•    Resists and nuno felting

These open studio sessions are beneficial to students wishing to develop methods and techniques taught on other courses, as well as those putting together a portfolio, artists wishing to create work for exhibition and learners seeking quality creative time for themselves.

Participants work at their own pace and are encouraged to take breaks throughout the day.
