COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Solid Form Felting is the topic for Modules 1-3 and one module will become accessible per week starting on Sunday, June 4, 2023 for the first three weeks of the course and will continue to be accessible, as will all modules, until the end of the course access on October 22, 2023 (formal course ends on August 13, 2023).  Each module contains an average of 1.5 hours of video demonstration divided into two segments and a PDF that outlines the content, clarifies the math involved in assessing layout & shrinkage and will assist with long term retention.  Module studies are suggested, completed at your own pace and level of extensiveness during that week and participants are encouraged to post pictures, questions and comments for group discussion on the chat forum for that module. A design prompt will be given for week four and participants will implement their new learning and compose/propose a project based on their personal aesthetic utilizing the learned techniques. Each participant will have an individual zoom meeting ideal for their time zone for direct instructor feedback that may or may not be open to the entire group depending on that participant's preference, keeping in mind that everyone will learn more if these meetings are shared experiences. Making the project will ensue after the design meeting and finished work will be posted when completed during week 5 for showcasing/critique. Similarly, 2D Plane and Hollow Form for Encasing Objects will be the focus for the next three weeks of Modules 4-6 followed by another design prompt and the same format for a second project for a total of 10 Weeks.

Course 1 content is equivalent to that of approximately 8-9 days of face to face STRONGFELT workshop content +2 supported projects. Nearly 9.5 hrs of video instruction with a broad and close up camera angle will be  delivered  via the Ruzuku platform , but will not be downloadable.  40 pages of PDFs will be printable.
