One Day Workshops
Cone Critters
_Shape a bit of fleece into two cones, (or balls in the case of "Yeek"
the emu chick). Join them and cover with fleece in the desired colour to
created mice, possums, bunnies, bees etc. Needle-felt it to create a
fascinating little creature. Complete directions for "Yeek" can be found
in the Gallery section under Felt Magazine. You can use any
course fleece you have in your stash. Then cover the roughed in shape with colour of choice. The fleece you choose will often
determine the critter it wants to be!! All little critters will take on
their own personality once you start.
Cost; $60.00 per student... |
Three-Day Workshops in Polymer Clay
_Jenny has adjusted her workshops to meet the needs of students requiring
more of an individual and one-on-one approach. The workshops originally
designed to be done in two days can now be tailored to suit the
individual needs of your doll club. Costs for tuition will range from
$50.00 to $65.00 per student per day. The use of tools and the Polymer
clay will be covered in this fee. Students will be required to supply
some basic supplies themselves.
The following courses are suggestions which can be modified to suit.
To make an entire doll:
Workshop 1: The Head. Create your own original 'dressed' head ready to apply to a basic wire armature which has been wrapped, to create the body. A Santa, an elf, an old person or a creature from fantasy. . Workshop 2: The Hands. In this one day workshop you will make wire hand armatures, wrap with Polymer clay and sculpt finger nails and knuckles. Your finished hands will be tailored to suit the size of the doll being created. Workshop 3: The Feet. Legs and shoes. Using Jack Johnson's method of creating shoes you will explore different shoe types, creating the style to suit your character. Some pre-course work will need to be done in advance. | " Rumple-who ".... spinning straw into gold....12" seated

A two dimensional possum needle-felted onto a wetfelted background.
After tracing the possum pattern onto the felt you will needle-felt the possum building up the leg and head to create the relief effect. You will use a variety of grey shades to create depth. Leaves and tree trunk are both felted into the background and built out. Similar animals can be created, however face on works best.
A one day wetfelting workshop where you will create a bag in your choice of colour and style. All materials will be supplied. You will need to line your bag and do the finishing touches when you get home.
