“Stained Glass” Nuno Felt Window Hanging
Course Overview
Design your own “stained glass” nuno felt window hanging to celebrate the sunshine all year round. First we'll draw our designs, then enlarge them up to 24”x36”. Using wet felting techniques with silk and merino wool, we'll create a fine, translucent nuno felt fabric which is the basis of our window hanging. We'll add color with acid dyes and end the class by adding supportive rods and hanging apparatus. This can be a stationary window hanging or, with just a bit more hardware, a Roman shade!
