Fantasy Masks Master Class with Gladys Paulus

During this 5 day technical master class with UK-based textile artist Gladys Paulus, you will learn how to calculate, design and create a base resist template which will become the starting point for an experimental and playful fantasy mask.

These are more than just a face cover, the masks will cover the head completely. You will learn how to achieve facial symmetry, experiment with different types of protrusions and colour, build up features and markings. You will also create plumage/hair/fur, how to felt 3D parts together and sculpt and shape.

The workshop will guide you step by step, please come ready for hard work as well as lots of fun. Bring plenty of ideas, inspirational photographs and sketches – you will have the opportunity to discuss these with the tutor during the workshop.

PLEASE NOTE: You will be required to make a small felt sample before the workshop.

£485 per person (or payment of 3 instalments of £161.66), including lunches and refreshments. You can buy tickets here.
