Last weekend I took a 3 day workshop with Katia Mokeyeva (www.feuer-und-wasser.com), a textile felt artist and clothing designer. Katia creates one-of-a-kind wearable art that are highly embellished and uses original detail techniques. This was one of the most interesting felt workshops I have taken in a long time. Katia is a very sharing artist, whose attention to detail is amazing. My fellow students and I were amazed on how dyed fiber and fine hand dyed silk could create a wearable vest using various techniques.
The workshop was very demanding but I am pleased because I learned a lot of new techniques and have an almost completed vest. There are some finishing details I need to do for shaping the armholes and neckline. I am also thinking of modifying the hemline and adding either machine or hand stitching to further bring out the 3D elements incorporated in the vest.
Take a look and let me know what you think. To see my new fiber art pieces, please visit www.josiescolourfuljourney.com and www.josiescolourfulart.etsy.com.
Thanks to New England Felt Supply (https://www.feltingsupply.com/) for hosting yet another great workshop.
