<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An exhibition curated by Anita Larkin of 13
contemporary artists, who use felt in conceptual artworks, bringing an ancient
craft into a modern context. Feltportation explores how felt can be used as an
insulation material, allowing the transference or interference, of objects,
materials, sound, warmth, and of spirit. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Felt is a material that has been used in nomadic
cultures across the Asiatic steppe for centuries, and has been instrumental in
the flow of people across these lands. Feltportation provides a platform for an
exchange of ideas about the use of felt as a medium for contemporary artmaking,
and how profoundly it can speak about our humanity, and the transference of
objects, words, sound, and energy between us all. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

and pure. She has learnt many things about traditional Icelandic art from her
grandmother and her mother. Being bought up in a coastal atmosphere, many of
her sculptures have themes of the animal world of sea shore.</span></i><i><span lang="SV" style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: SV; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-no-proof: no;"> Anna has taught felt making in UK,

excitement when making felt is undiminished. It is an ‘open’ process; there is
nothing between me and the fibres, we connect ‘face-to-face’ and in a
‘hands-on’ fashion in the creation of meaningful objects. What matters is the
intentional engagement with making, and the interplay of materials, experience,
design, and ideas. Making felt engages my whole being; it truly suits my fold.
Sharing the magic of felt through teaching is something that continues to give
me great enjoyment. I feel fortunate to be part of a vibrant community of
makers; the social networks and spirit of generosity mean the world to me.’</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-no-proof: no;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">It’s
been almost 20 years since I discovered feltmaking. I was an agricultural
student and verged into textiles. I’ve been thrilled with what comes out of
myself, a part of me which I wouldn’t even know if I wasn’t making felt.
Feltmaking creates the path I’ve been passing through and it’s been connecting
me with many wonderful people. It makes me travel. Felt making itself is like a
travelling journey for me. Making felt is a journey through myself, different
people and through culture. I’ll see where my felt takes me to and at the same
time I’m the one who navigates… </span></div>

Japanese. This is Leiko Uchiyama’s innovative version of lacy felt. She was
inspired by pine needles on the snow. Leiko will share how she prepares the
wool and lays the wool differently from the way many of us normally do, to
achieve her intriguing felt surfaces. This felting technique is very beautiful
and useful. Leiko says she would like to share the magic only our hands can do!</span></div>
