Soft Sculpture: textiles + form
Addoley Dzegede
Tuition $1,075
Code S1009-21
This experimental soft sculpture workshop walks students through the process of making free-standing objects using a variety of found and procured textiles that are sewn and stuffed. The works of Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen can inspire students to create soft sculptures based on everyday objects, or students may choose to sew abstract forms. The goal is to transform—through scale and material—an everyday item to make us reconsider and alter our relationship to the original object. If making an abstract work, students transform a drawing into a three-dimensional form considering volume, color and pattern.
