”Wool felt class that is particular about realistic expression”Now, we'll learn something like this.
How to make a framework with wire and flesh it out
The content is for those who are intermediate to advanced wool felt. According to the actual position of the skeleton and muscles, we create a framework with wires, flesh it out, and aim for a realistic work with an emphasis on core building.
In addition, we create works from a sculptural perspective, such as capturing motifs on the surface and being aware of the sense of rhythm.

I'm majoring in sculpture, and I'm particular about creating authentic works by making use of that knowledge.
A long time ago, my mother opened a patchwork class and shop, and she used wool felt as part of her bag.
It started when my mother asked me to “make something with this” because I had left over that wool.
After a while, I wanted to do work related to making things, so I remembered wool felt, and began making.
I'm majoring in sculpture, and I'm particular about creating authentic works by making use of that knowledge.
I will make use of my classroom experience to teach in an easy-to-understand manner even for beginners.
