Tina’s course has my brain already exploding !! I’ve always avoided online courses, as I prefer the human element when learning. However, this course with Fibre Art Take Two is my first ever and I’m completely and beyond impressed. Absolutely loving it!

Fibre has always been with us - clothing our bodies, carrying our stories, and connecting cultures.

But what if cloth could do more? What if it could hold memory, movement, and meaning, becoming art that speaks in three dimensions?

Under the guidance of internationally acclaimed artist Tina Marais, it’s easier than you might think. In Soft Revolution, Tina shares the exact methods and techniques that took her from kitchen-table explorations to international exhibitions.

In just weeks, you’ll learn how to transform everyday materials into sculptural works that resonate far beyond the surface.

From birth to death, we are covered in textiles. They comfort us, protect us, carry our memories. My work is about honouring that – transforming cloth into sculptural forms that hold presence, movement and story.

- Tina Marais

 

Tina's sculptures have been exhibited across Canada, France, China and beyond, and she is deeply committed to showcasing fibre as a contemporary art form. Her projects have connected communities, challenged perceptions of fibre art, and helped reposition textiles as fine art of global relevance.

As a teacher, Tina is extremely generous, practical and deeply philosophical. She shows you every step – but also invites you to think about why you are making, and how to find your own voice through fibre.
