The Making of Artful Objects
A free behind-the-scenes training series
In this free series, we’ll take you behind the scenes of Artful Objects — the collection Ellen Bakker and I created together.
You’ll look over our shoulders as we work: the materials, the decisions, the unexpected moments, and the almost magical transformation of painted silk and wool into a three-dimensional object.
In this free series, you’ll see:
✅ How to create work that is beautiful, distinctive and full of character. Explore the principles behind stronger compositions, more elegant forms, and the interplay of colour, surface and shape.
✅ How Ellen approaches silk-painting differently when she knows it will become part of a three-dimensional felt object.
✅ A real making session, from materials and first decisions through shaping, transforming and finishing the piece.
If you're ready to move beyond craft and develop work that feels more personal, alive, and radiating, you’ll find this training especially valuable.
