Fabulous textures emerge when wool fibers are laminated to cloth through nuno felting. This workshop pairs two of fiber arts’ most expressive techniques—weaving and wet felting—to produce surfaces that neither method can achieve alone. This class emphasizes process over perfection.
You will begin by breaking all the weaving rules to create a delicate web of cloth. This is a great time to use a mixed warp of everything but the kitchen sink. You will take cloth off the loom, add luxurious merino wool fibers, then wet felt everything together. Forget everything you have heard about hours of rolling and don’t worry if you have never felted before.
You will learn how fiber choice, cloth structure, and wool placement influence the final surface. Good results are guaranteed. You will go home with a wonderful scarf-sized piece plus the inspiration and knowledge to create something new.
