PRIVATE TUITION is available if you prefer to have a one-on-one class. You can have a class specifically tailored to you, learn in the privacy of your own home or come to my studio. Contact me to discuss.
I have been teaching feltmaking and sculpture (found object assemblage) since 1994. This has included workshops within High Schools and Primary Schools, for private community groups as well as teaching courses at University level and supervising MFA students. I am currently completing a Doctorate of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong.

FELTED SCULPTURAL FORMS
Learn key techniques for making felted sculptures starting from soft tufts of wool, adding warm soapy water, and massaging the fibres into robust shapes. Construct seamless three-dimensional forms using resists, model solid felt shapes, create organic multi-layered vessels, felt around a found object and more! Drawing and collage exercises will be used to develop resist shapes for sculptural forms in felt. The class will discuss felt’s history as a shelter, its absorption of sound and moisture and its tactile materiality as points of investigation within a sculpture. Wool felt has been used as a sculptural medium since 5th century BC through to contemporary artists such as Joseph Beuys.

SCULPTURES from FOUND OBJECTS
Discover practical ways of animating the inanimate, of creating story and sculpture out of discarded objects. This sculptural assemblage workshop will explore various hand-tool methods of joining your found objects together. Techniques include shaping with a Dremel, screwing, gluing, riveting, friction joints and using fillers. Anita will work one-on-one with students to develop intriguing and dynamic sculptures that are either abstract or narrative.
