In Contemporary Fibre Sculpture with Tina Marais you’ll explore freeform patterning and dimensional textile techniques. This online art course offers students the skills to create expressive, tactile works.

You’ll engage with diverse folding methods, fabric manipulation, and surface texturing while working with new and preloved textiles. Emphasis is placed on adapting these techniques to each artist’s voice, encouraging experimentation over perfection and empowering you to integrate new methods into your art practice.

You’ll gain insight into the historical and cultural origins of textile making, honouring the hands and processes that transform fibre into fabric. You will also explore how to visually express concepts through materiality, learning to communicate ideas using texture, form, and pattern.

Some of the key skills you will develop include…

  • Transforming 2D designs into 3D forms
  • Folding and fabric manipulation techniques
  • Using drawing and sketching for conceptual development
  • Combining found objects and textile materiality
  • Finding creative solutions to technical challenges

Sometimes our lack of confidence gets in our way, but Tina will help you to... 

Grow artistically, learn, create and discover

Students will develop their confidence by observing their environments more creatively, reimagining textile materials, and discovering new possibilities within their skill set. Focus will be given to installation ideas, scaling work, and refining the presentation of finished pieces.

This inclusive course welcomes students of all levels, inspiring artistic growth through hands-on exploration and the exchange of ideas. You will leave this course with practical tools, confidence, and the knowledge to create contemporary textile art.

Join a worldwide community of students who come together in a private online forum and share their art, experiences and insights. Ask questions, bounce ideas, share knowledge and benefit from this course being your resource for life!
