soft sculpture


Our felted elements included a coil, a ball and a vessel. Using, scissors, needles, threads and some found objects, we transformed them into sculptures.

Tapestry needles and yarn were used for sewing the elements together. The vessel can be turned inside out to aide in attachement. The coil is being stitched to the inside of the vessel.

Various notions were brought in including feathers, buttons and fine needles and threads.

Participants felted two or three elements that they then were asked to put together in some way. Many created containers. Some created body ornaments. A few created characters.
