Nuno-Felted Silk Scarf

Make a beautiful, lightweight scarf to wear year-round. We start with a length of silk (of your choosing) and lay out wool fibers to create a one-of-a-kind, decorative piece of wearable art. Art is therapy, and felting is contagious! You will have fun, get funky with fibers, and work with your hands to create something new. This is a long class; we will make sure there are ample breaks and time to stretch. Bring lunch and/or snacks.

Students must bring the following to class: small buckets for water, two towels, scissors, a small container of dish soap, a tape measure, a silk scarf no longer than 72 inches, and roving (fiber) 6 to 8 oz. Merino or Corriedale fiber. This can be found on Livingfelt.com, or can be purchased directly from the teacher for $50 per person which you will indicate upon registration. Please DO NOT use any fibers that are not specific about the breed of wool (ie, Merino or Corriedale). Generally, fibers purchased from hobby stores are not good for wet felting. There is a $5 materials fee for bubble wrap and resist material payable to the teacher at class for all participants. Please note that the process of felting is physical and requires the use of hands, arms and fingers.
