Dani Ives Painting with Wool: Color, Texture, and Creative Voice in Fiber 5 Day Retreat
This five-day fiber arts retreat will show you how to make textured wool paintings from beginning to end, with artist Dani Ives. You will learn fiber blending for artistic results, layering for depth, and practical color theory for realism or abstraction.
The heart of the week is a sustained project of your own composition focusing on any subject that genuinely interests you. Pick any style you like, such as landscapes, plants, animals, people, still lifes, or abstract art. There will be smaller studies and exercises throughout the week where you will experiment without pressure. These explorations will build your confidence and expand your sense of what’s possible with this technique.
