What you will learn

  • making and creating with prefelts

  • fiber painting and collage techniques with fibers

  • sculpturing a critter out of a flat felted surface

For whom is this workshop?

Everyone is welcome to all my classes!
Just be aware that it is (probably) impossible to follow the workshop while making your own critter if you don’t have good basic felting skills. Even so I show all techniques step by step, the rythme is quiet fast as we only have 2h30. For beginners and all those who prefer working on their own speed, I suggest to participate by taking notes and asking topic relevant questions.

How does Ariane Mariane online classes work?

This course will be hold on the free communication app Zoom. You need to install it on the device of your choice. Best works a tablet or laptop.

I’ll have two cameras, allowing to see the work in progress from two angles. If you are connected with a phone you’ll probably only see one.

I’m working on a creation, explaining step by step how I do it with great tips and helpful advises.

Participants can work in same time or take notes and ask topic relevant questions.

How to join?

To particpate you just have to purchase a spot in my online shop for the day and time schedule that fits you best.

Please pay attention that you book an English spoken class (except if you like to practice your French :)).

Once your payment received, I’ll send you an email with details how to join my virtual classroom.
