There will be no doll of the month in June because I am going on combined holiday and teaching tour most of the month in Germany.

May will be a busy month
Written by Birgitte Krag Hansen

It looks like there will be a lot of things to do this month:

Some of my things will be shown at the mess of the firm Creativ Company from May 8-10. Among them my new little theatrefigure.

I am writing on an article for a magazine called "Arts and Craft in the school".

Right now I have finished the last things for my next exhibition, which will take place in Italy at Le Arti Tessili Association in July, where i will give a course too.

Presentation:

Le Arti Tessili Association, founded in 1987, has since ever been active in
the diffusion of textile culture and education.  For the purpose of reaching
this ambitious target, the Association proposes and organizes various
activities:  exhibitions, publications, seminars and workshops, and the
International Valcellina Award for Young Textile Artists. With regard to the
study and practice of felting, the first courses were held at the
Association seat in Montereale Valcellina (Friuli - Venezia)

I hope that my new book about Animal felt will be ready before my husband and I leave for holiday early June. We combine the holiday with the course I am going to give at Filzrausch in Germany. Right after the course we will start our bikingtour along the river "Weser".

If anyone should happen to pass my workshop this month on a certain day, then you might be very surprised and think that I have made a mistake because the whole room will be decorated with things that belongs to Christmas time. The reason is that there will be made an article for the magazine "Christmas", and I must admit that I am not at all in the mood to dig all those things forward from the boxes now.

 


 
Doll of the month - May 2007
Written by Birgitte Krag Hansen

I am often contacted by visitors who would like to buy dolls they have seen in the picture galleries. But all of these dolls have been made as part of projects or have been pre-ordered a long time before they were made. Due to lack of time I only make a very limited number of dolls each year, but I have decided to make some of these dolls available on Feltmaking.com as "Doll of the month".

The doll of May is from a series of needle felted figures I have made, called ”Soft Granite Women”. My idea is that the doll would fit very well in a winter garden. I have prepared the wool myself and I have chosen very, very course wool to get this raw look. This kind of wool is not very easy to work with and therefore the doll had to have a good size so I was able to shape the little details. This doll is 30 cm high and 30 cm wide.

Felt education + visitors at my studio
Written by Birgitte Krag Hansen

Today a group of felt makers from the Swedish Folk High School on the island Gotland came to see my workshop.

For one year they are studying felt making at the school and it is probably the only full time felt education in Scandinavia . The students are studying felt design as well as felt art and craft. The education lasts one year and is parted in a basic part and a part for specializing.
