CALL FOR APPLICATION
For felt-makers, and prospective students of felt-making of the world
International Felt-art Workshop in Hungary, Orfű–Tekeres, between 10-17 July, 2011.
For years I was pampering the idea of a feltmaking camp where those foreigners and Hungarians who felt or wish to submerge themselves into felting can do so with the guidance of valued, interesting teachers and feltartist. Where they can meet other feltmakers, other cultures, new ways of thinking, different artistic perceptions and techniques.
"The Gift of the Lambs" II. International Felt-art Symposium and Workshop will be held at a new place: Orfű-Tekeres, not Magyarlukafa where hopefully we can remain for the years to come and the name of the village and the International Felt-art Symposium will become one and known as such for its quality in felting circles around the world.
Venue of Symposium:
Let me share with you more details about the 2011 camp. Tekeres Lovaspanzió – Riderpension and Orfű Youth Hostel are in Tekeres, a little village in the Orfű lake region, between Lake Pécsi and Lake Hermann Ottó. Due to the picturesque natural surroundings there is ample opportunity for swimming, angling, paddling, bathing in a little aquapark, horse riding, bicycling, and visiting the Abaliget Stalactite Cave. Even a bicycle route between Orfű and Pécs will be ready for the summer (15km), so you can visit the city going through the woodland and hills. Here, you will find links to check the surroundings and the lodging:

Preliminary program of The Felting Symposium:
Based on last year’s experience I have changed a little the structure of the camp. 4 tutors work with 4 groups of the participants, who practise different techniques in each workshop in a revolving stage fashion. (1 group is max.10 people). Tutors can work with interpreters. Teaching languages are Hungarian and English. The workshops can host a maximum of 40 people from around the world. Each tutor prepares with a one-and-a-half day program, so you will have time to finish the project, do quality work, rest, socialize with the others and participate in cultural programs. You still can receive 10 hours tuition from each person. So the camp will last for 8 days, arrival and departure included.
During the evenings there will be lectures by invited feltmakers and presentations by the teachers, the attendees may also present their own works or thoughts. The famous MarkusZinhaz is invited to give a puppet theatre performance with their feltcreatures and a dancehouse is planned: http://markuszinhaz.hu/ .
To make our artcamp more inviting for families there will be a teacher who on demand may hold felting sessions or other craft lessons, excursions in the neighbourhood or in Pécs for the children, every day if needed. Families can rent separate apartments.
Other optional programs for a fee are: horse riding, pet-zoo, bread making, visiting the Mill Museum, wine, honey, jam and cheese tasting, and getting to know other products from ecofarmers in the neighbourhood (toilet soaps made with goatmilk is an example). We may even organize a wine tasting tour to Villány by bus if you wish!
We plan to have an exhibition in Orfű during the camp from Tutors‘ and attendees’ works, and another one in the noted Parti Gallery in Pécs after the camp.
There is a possibility to stay on for a few days more than you won’t be in a hurry at the finissage.
