In this course we will create cute and touching seals that you won't want to let out of your hands. 

 

The Miniature Seal Livestream Course is an exciting new online learning format. We'll be working together live on a livestream and create different charming seals in wet felting technique! 

 

What is a livestream course?

It is as close as possible to a face-to-face workshop format, it involves working together during the broadcast and a lot of communication. I show you the process of creating figurine toy seal and few pieces of his wardrobe (dress and sneakers) and you work with me at the same time on your own one. I answer all your questions via chat and help you cope with the work as efficiently as possible.

 

What do we do on a course?

 

In the course, as the main project, we will be making a seal as a figurine toy in the wet felting technique (the finished seal is 12 cm long). But you know me, I am always coming up with new ideas and possibilities. So, here I will also show you how to make a finger puppet seal as well, and a bonus is a cute, tiny fluffy baby seal.

This course is a great all-round activity, because here we learn to work with three-dimensional hollow felt, figurine felt sculpture, basic needle felting technique, tiny sized wet felting, various textures, and work in monochrome with contrasting wool. The result is amazingly positive characters - seals that you do not want to let out of your hands.

Do not underestimate the toys - they are complex three-dimensional sculptures on which you can learn a huge number of non-toy techniques and tricks. Studying felting while creating such a tiny and positive world is wonderful - art therapy and professional evolution in one little seal.

 

How long is the course, will there be a recordings and is it suitable for beginners?

 

This is 2-day course with 2 evening sessions. A break between lessons makes it easy to catch up with the group if you fall a little behind. The course is ideal for beginners, but will also be of interest to experienced feltmaker. 

I give very detailed instructions, so there is nothing to be afraid of. In addition, you will get the record of the livestream with unlimited access.

 

Does it take much to get started?

 

The list of necessary materials and tools for this course is not big, everything can be easily found. I describe everything in great detail in the PDF file and introduction lesson that you receive right after payment, so that you have time to prepare before the course. 

The main seal in this course is the figurine toy. To create felted miniatures, you don't need many materials and tools -  the toy weighs 10 grams only, and of the specific tools you need a ribbed antislip mat from IKEA (or similar), as well as a needle felting needle. These tools must be prepared in advance, but the pleasure of felting is guaranteed! Believe me, I've been felting animals for 13 years, and still enjoy it.

 

Will I like it?

Such miniature animals are perfect pocket and table companions. Guaranteed to lift your spirits. And in the process of making them as well. Felting such toys is a complex art therapy - there is wool, hand work and wonderful heroes. It's all positive.
