If you would like to join the waiting list or be informed of when the next Fissures II - Nuno Felted Scarves workshop is scheduled, please message me. I'm happy to arrange workshops for individuals and/or groups.
Inspired by the Icelandic landscape, this workshop focuses on making a nuno felted scarf by creating fissure patterns and complex surface textures.
During visits to Iceland over the last few years, I was struck by the juxtaposition of the rugged landscapes with the fragility of the environment, and the precarious existence of life on the island. As a result I began to explore these aspects of the Icelandic environment in my sketchbook and by fusing felted wool with silk fabrics. Taking this inspiration I have designed this workshop, in which we will explore how to create pre-felt and apply this fused wool to silk fabrics, to design your own unique nuno felted scarf.
Working with merino wools we will embellish the wool surface with silk & viscose fibres to prepare a pre-felt. You will learn how to dye your fabric in your chosen colour and gain an understanding of the principles of nuno felting. By the close of the workshop you will create a unique scarf, having learnt the nuno felting process to bond the pre-felted fabric with the silk fabric.
Small workshop groups are guaranteed, allowing you plenty of individual tuition. I will guide you through each stage of the process and supply illustrated handout notes to take home, giving you all the information you need to continue future felt making projects.
Some previous felting experience is required; it is advisable to have undertaken a Basic Feltmaking and Introduction to Nuno feltmaking course prior to participating in this workshop.
