Sculptural Felt Art — Creating in Your Own Rhythm
This masterclass is an invitation to slow down, listen, and create from a deeper place.
The fish is not approached here as a motif to copy, but as a living form — shaped through intuition, structure, and years of sculptural felt practice.
You are guided step by step through a complete creative process:
from inspiration and inner alignment to sketching, templates, fiber layout, felting, and finishing.
This is a self-guided, professional-level masterclass, designed for artists, makers, and sensitive creatives who wish to deepen their sculptural felt practice while honoring presence, patience, and flow.
This is not a fast DIY project.
It is a transmission of craft.
You will learn:
how to build strong, stable sculptural forms
how to combine wool types for solidity and refined surfaces
how to work with templates, resists, pre-felt, and structure
how to create expressive details: fins, eyes, textures
how to felt with precision, rhythm, and care
how to finish and integrate your work with dignity
At the same time, you are invited to:
work in your own rhythm
trust intuition as much as technique
stay connected to your body and sensing
allow your own fish to emerge — uniquely
The masterclass includes 6 in-depth modules and approximately 50 lessons:
1. Preparation & Inner Alignment
Arriving, intention setting, inspiration, symbolism, and orientation
2. Inspiration, Sketch & Template
From inner image to form and structure
3. Wool Combination, Surfaces & Sample Making
Understanding material through hands-on exploration
4. Details & Accessories
Fins, eyes, spikes, textures, and expressive elements
5. Fiber Layout & Felting
Building the body, integrating all elements, shaping and strengthening
6. Finishing Touches & Integration
Completion, stabilization, finishing, and reflection
All modules are available from the start.
This course is fully self-paced.
You can:
follow the modules step by step
pause and return whenever needed
repeat lessons
take time between phases
There is no fixed schedule and no pressure to finish quickly.
The process unfolds in its own timing — just like felting itself.
This masterclass is for you if:
you work with felt (or wish to deepen your sculptural practice)
you value quality, depth, and craftsmanship
you enjoy learning through doing and sensing
you want to create strong, expressive sculptural forms
you prefer a calm, respectful learning space
It is suitable for intermediate to advanced beginners and experienced felt artists.
You do not need to be “perfect” — curiosity and commitment are enough.
