Course Overview

Nuno felting adds enormous creative potential to traditional wool wet felting by merging wool with open weave fabrics, commonly silk. Merging silk and wool is not only beautiful but combines the warmth and softness of wool with the wind resistance and lightness of silk. Featured guest instructor Anna Gunnarsdottir will teach a new and easy method for making nuno felted fabric in large quantity with a repeated pattern, allowing for the possibility of clothing design. In this two-day workshop, students will create several meters of nuno felted fabric with silk yardage and merino roving and create two shawls from their work. Anna will cover the use of color and repeated design to create different effects and will discuss the use of nuno fabric in clothing design.
