Nuno Felting (Workshop)
Course Overview
Create Your Own Nuno-Felted Artwork!
Discover the magic of Nuno felting – a beautiful textile technique that fuses wool fibres with sheer or open-weave fabric, creating stunning textures and patterns. As the wool shrinks during the wet felting process, it forms elegant designs that drape beautifully – perfect for scarves, wearables, or creative textile projects.
What You’ll Learn
Under the expert guidance of Gill you will:
- Learn step-by-step how to craft your own Nuno-felted scarf
- Explore alternative patchwork styles if you prefer to experiment
- Get inspired by a variety of samples Gill will bring along
- Discover different techniques for working with natural fibres
This technique is also a wonderful way to upcycle old scarves or clothing made from open-weave natural fibers – so feel free to bring along anything you’d like to incorporate into your piece.
No prior experience needed, just a willingness to explore! While the process involves some mild repetitive motion, the results are truly magical.
At the end of the workshop, you will take home:
- A handcrafted Nuno-felted scarf or fabric piece
- Notes and techniques to continue felting at home
What to Bring
- An old towel
- Scissors
- A waterproof or plastic bag to take your wet towel and felt home
Optional
- Apron (if you’re worried about water splashes)
- Old scarves or clothing made from muslin or silk to incorporate into your design
