All of these artists do some great sculptural work, and the sculptural potential of felt is something that really fascinates me and what first got me really excited about feltmaking, so I hope to learn a lot. Already I get the feeling the convergence will have a sculptural bias! To help fund the next convergence we were asked to take part in a fundraising 'swap' of a 3D piece that will be displayed through the week. Recently Ive come across the work of Dutch Feltmaker Annemie Koenen, who adds amazing 3D surface texture to many of the items she makes. I still have some way to go before I really suss out her technique, but in the process maybe I will develop a technique of my own! Here is the item I have made to 'give away' at the convergence, I have called it 'Strange Fruit', I'd love to hear from you if you take it home :)
