Felting Workshop




Three samples of felt made at a felting workshop at the College of Fine Art in Sydney.
1. Rolling - Felt using natural merino fleece felted in the traditional central Asian rolling technique.
2. Inlay - Coloured felt with merino fleece in rust and olive green, rolling technique inlaid with threads and mohair slivers. The technique of creating holes was also practiced in this sample.
3. Nuno - the technique of Nuno felting uses the rolling technique to felt fleece into loosely woven fabrics (cotton voile, silk organza). Various designs can be achieved with this technique and it can easily be adapted to clothing and other items.
