filzfun: Issue 83, summer 2024

»What you want to ignite in others must burn in you«, the famous saying by Augustine Aurelius has lost none of its validity even after almost 2,000 years. Our felt artists in this summer issue are prime examples of this, because without their great enthusiasm for the subject of felt, all the diverse works of art, exhibitions, projects, instructions and courses would never be created. This is also shown by our portraits in this issue: the internationally renowned artist Bodo Korsig creates monumental installations from felt and aims to inspire people to reflect. Argentinian designer Gabriela Ovis, alias GabyO, creates striking bowls, sculptures and items of clothing using the various fibers from her home country. Natalie Martin, born in Kazakhstan, loves to experiment with colors.
