Some new creatures

  While the lady was undergoing work, some new friends arrived at the studio.

  Two finger-knitted dolls, for a new workshop I am going to conduct.

They chose to spend the afternoon in a rather interesting location yesterday.

Although these two have been living here for a while, they haven't been introduced yet. So here they are – both of them are the result of one old and ruined Teletubby softie, and were created for a toy repair workshop I conducted two months ago. The idea behind the workshop was to use the repair as an excuse for creating something new and original out of old items.

The creation of these items is one of the most fun things I have ever done for a living.

During the last few months, while I was busy with the lady, the creation of those items was like a relief: to make something simple, creative and innovative for the workshop, which is fun as well.

Three Workshops

This coming month, I am going to conduct three workshops at my home studio.
The first one (on Thursday evening, May 12) is the Sock Animal and Creature Workshop. This will be the fourth time that I will have conducted this workshop. The other three were quite fun and the results were so creative and innovative, that I am really looking forward to seeing how it will go this time around. :-)

The second workshop (which will take place on Friday morning, May 20) is a new one, the Bird Workshop, which is based on the series of birds I have created during the last few years. In this workshop I wish to teach the combination of techniques and materials that I use as well as the thinking and creative processes I follow while creating my own work.

The third workshop (on Thursday evening, May 26) is my Wrapping Technique Workshop, where I will teach the principles of wrapping fabric scraps on top of each other in order to create unique and original shapes which would then metamorphose into creative and imaginative characters.
This technique combines sculpting and sewing techniques, which each participant can use in order to come up with his or her very own unique design.

The three workshops will all take place at my home studio, which is located in South Tel Aviv. You are more than welcome to e-mail or phone me for details if you happen to be in the area.
If you wish to receive updates about my workshops by e-mail, just tell me and I will add you to my mailing list.

בחודש הקרוב יתקיימו שלוש סדנאות בסטודיו הביתי שלי בדרום ת"א. לפרטים והרשמה אפשר לפנות אליי במייל או בטלפון.

כמו כן, אני אשמח לצרף חברים חדשים לרשימת התפוצה שלי, שבאמצעותה אני שולחת עדכונים לגבי סדנאות קרובות.
