Derived from the Japanese word "nuno" (meaning “cloth”), nuno felting is a technique that bonds loose fiber, usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. Nuno felting often incorporates several layers of loose fibers combined to build up color, texture, and/or design elements in the finished fabric. The process results in lightweight, stable fabrics with excellent movement and drape for wearable works of art.
This class will be led by Suzanne O’Brien, an award-winning artist and juried artist member of the Roycroft Campus Arts and Craftsman Guild. Suzanne is an experienced fiber arts instructor and the owner of ZanieCrafts.
Course fee includes all supplies. Registration is limited to seven students. Class time includes a midday lunch break.
