Sculptural Fiber Workshop


DeCordova Museum School

Saturday & Sunday, 10 am – 4 pm

October 25 & 26, 2008 (2 sessions)


This Workshop is an introduction to sculptural construction using fiber and raw materials of all kinds coupled with the use of some age-old, ingenious, handwork techniques such as knitting, weaving, felting, etc. Through class demonstrations and individual exercises, the student will gain insight into the potentials of these low-tech and accessible methods and materials as well as an understanding of some of the elements involved in creating three-dimensional works. We will explore the innovative use of materials ranging from wire to wool, and drawing from both manufactured and natural environments. Past and present artists working in these mediums will also be investigated.


All Levels welcome

M $160/NM $175 (includes $25 materials fee) limit 12

All levels of knitters become friends as we knit together from week to week. Participants work on the projects of their choice, learning technique, history and practice of knitting and crochet. With the class size limited to eight, each student receives personal guidance and direction. The diversity of projects allows for exposure to many areas of interest and opportunities for learning. Students sign up for individual sessions that run concurrently. First-time students are welcome to jump in at any time and we will adjust the fee.
