402 Nuno Felt a Tunic & Shawl

402 Nuno Felt a Tunic & Shawl

Silky and gorgeous wearable art are the inspiration for this class. It is not typical nuno felt. You 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.You will begin with a matching shawl so you can find your groove. Day two you will learn about making seams and working with a pattern resist to create a tunic.
