Online Zoom Workshop with Pieter
Discover textiles for the home with Pieter
The weekly workshops offered by Pieter van der Werf / Studio Orains will be focused on textiles in the home. Together with a small group of up to eight other participants you’ll create a felted wall hanging for your own home.
Pieter is an artist with his studio based in Argyll and Bute. From there he will lead you through the process of wet-felting which is essential in this type of textile creation. Make your own small wall hanging with wool from the Scottish Blackface or Jacob sheep. The wool for this is sourced from farms close to the studio in Colintraive.
Discover also the plant materials used to dye the wool for the studio, as you and Pieter will go on a virtual botanical walk along the shores of Loch Riddon. You’ll have ample opportunity to share your own creative experiences and stories with your fellow workshop participants, and see how each individual wall hanging is developed.
You will receive a pack of art materials with everything you need for the course. If you already have drawing and painting materials you may wish to use these too.
To take part you need a computer, internet access and a clear workspace.
