In this hands-on workshop, students will learn how to create a beautiful double-sided scarf using the nuno felting technique. This class is perfect for beginners and introduces the art of wet felting with a focus on working with extra fine merino wool roving, silk fabric, viscose fiber, and decorative yarns.
What you’ll learn:
• Basics of Wet Felting: Understand how hot water and soap, combined with agitation and compression, transform loose wool fibers into felt—the oldest known textile.
• Introduction to Nuno Felting: Explore how wool fibers bond with sheer fabrics like silk gauze to create a lightweight, textured material. The term "nuno" means "cloth" in Japanese.
• Fiber and Fabric Fusion: Learn how to layer and felt different materials together for texture, strength, and visual interest.
• Lamination Technique: Use yarn as a decorative element that gets sealed between silk and wool layers—this specific process in nuno felting is called lamination.
By the end of the class, each participant will leave with a unique, leaf-like double-sided scarf featuring individual designs and textures on both sides, along with a solid understanding of nuno felting basics and creative techniques they can use in future projects.
All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.
