Wrapping Technique- 21 July 2013  10.00-14.30 hrs

A technique Neta has developed in order to create 3D bodies and shapes using discarded textile scarps. This technique enables sculpturing using fabric bands which has been wrapped on the top of each other to create vast variety of unique and unexpected 3d shapes.

1 day workshop

 Portrait Embroidery- 22 July 2013  10.00-15.30 hrs

This workshop is dealing with an issue Neta is most curious about and busy with at the last year in her own work. The workshop teaches the process of transforming a portrait (usually self, or of someone we attached to)  into embroidery discusses and deal with  its meanings through the stitches. The workshop  contains  a short presentation of contemporary artists who uses this combination in their work as well.

Some of her work with the portraitembroidery can be seen here
