Nuno felting utilizes animal fibers and a sheer, open-weave fabric like silk, to create a new material.

In this 6-hour workshop, we will complete a scarf with merino wool and silk using the wet felting technique. We will discuss the history and uses of felt, explain the types of felting and complete a hands-on wet felting project of a soft and distinctive scarf.

Students will need to bring the following supplies:

• 3 large old towels
• Apron
• Plastic bag (grocery or trash bag size)
• Paper/pencil
• Snacks & drinks (coffee, tea, and water provided)
• Wear comfortable shoes and clothes
