15-16-17 November 2015
In October-November Katia Mokeyeva from the USA, born Ukraine, will be in UK and the Netherlands for a couple of fantastic classes*. This masterclass will be in atelier Fiberfusing near Amsterdam. Katia is planning to join the Wool Ways Show Amsterdam 15-10-2015.
programm
This masterclass provides an alternative way to layout a one-piece garment with nice shoulder line and comfortable fit. We will design a nuno-felted A-line vest with a big collar or hood (optional) that takes a relatively small space to make. We will be applying different layout types in one garment, to develop a desirable shape and ideal fit. We will learn to create fine, durable, and slightly stretchy felted fabric combining wool and natural fibers. Students will also explore various surface design and texture techniques.
This class is suitable for intermediate to advanced felt makers. Feltmaking experience is required.
about the artist
Katia Mokeyeva lives and runs her design studio ''Feuer und Wasser'' in San Francisco, California. Ukrainian born and raised in Moscow she graduated from the Moscow State University of Arts and Industry in 1995. As an extension to her education, she completed the junior and senior years at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, focusing on fashion design and textile. Partaking in a short summer study abroad program in London's Central St. Martin's College of Arts and Design gave her a new spectrum of inspiration as a clothing designer.
Her exploration of various artistic methods and mediums led to a development of a more specific direction that sparked love in the realm of textile and fibre art. The possibility to create one-of-a-kind garments from scratch with the use of artisan textile led her to the particular technique of Nuno-felting.
Katia's work was featured in FilzFun magazine, Textile Art Around The World book, and other European and American blogs and magazines. She is a finalist of the NICHE Awards 2015 ( American Made Show).
