Feltworker
– the very best of Felt Art & Design – starts its first group event
“Feltworker’s experiment N°1 ”.
Founded in
2015 by Cindy Larrat, Maria Friese and Ariane Mariane, “Feltworkers” aims to
highlight contemporary felt work of talented textile artistes and designers. On
their FB page the 3 women regularly share their felted favorites to show off
the beauty of this ancestral textile technique revisited by contemporary
crafters. Today’s felt is an art domain on itself!
For 2016 they
decided to push “Feltworkers” further and are launching their first event.
During at least one year they will work with 2 famous Japanese feltmakers: Atsuko Sasaki and Terumi
Ohta.
Motivated
by the observation that through internet one can make friends and co-work with
people from all over the world Feltworkers wants to connect the oldest human
textile technique with modern communication techniques. This French – Japanese
textile collaboration allows to get to know each other, get insights in both
cultures and share knowledge and passion for felt.
Together
they’ll create a collection of work for a common exposition which will be shown
on the internet and later on in brick and mortar shows (all around the globe
;)).
The chosen
theme for this first experiment is “Black & White” . This is the main
subject which will open to other themes like “Calligraphy”, “Perfect-
Imperfect”, “Shadows”…
The
exchange of thoughts as well as samples of work will allow to build up a common
vision in which each of the artiste is recognizable and in the same time part
of a whole.
The
advancement of this project will be stated every Friday night on Feltworker’s FB
Page: https://www.facebook.com/feltworkers
Stay tuned!
Let’s start
by presenting the wonderful Team. Here’s a sneak to all 6 universes.
