With a lifelong interest in natural fibers, sewing, and design, felting has become a perfect medium to express and sustain my need to create. Combining color, function, durability, and beauty, with a touch of mystery, felting offers a boundless creative adventure.
For many years I’ve had the opportunity to teach classes in wet felting and nuno felting. Wet felting, an ancient I process, creates a heavier denser fabric perfect for purses, totes, hats, tea cozies and more. Nuno felting with chiffon silk and wool fibers creates a supple draping fabric that I use for making scarves, jackets, and yardage. As the wet wool fibers migrate within both of these processes, the mystery of their final destination is revealed only after the sudsy agitation completes the felting process. Thus, each piece is unique. A wonderfully satisfying medium. |
