402 Nuno Felt a Tunic & Shawl
Silky and gorgeous wearable art are the inspiration for this class. It’s not typical nuno felt, as participants will tear strips of fine merino wool and lay them in interesting designs upon the silk. As the wool is felted it grabs the silk…while shrinking it ruches or puckers the silk creating interesting texture. We will begin with a matching shawl so you can find your groove, day two you’ll learn about making seams and working with a pattern resist to create a tunic.
