Laminated (Nuno) Felted Silk Scarf(Berwyn)
TLD Design Center & Gallery See all classes by this school @ 2619 Ridgeland Ave, Berwyn, IL
Wool has a natural property that allows it to become felt when treated through agitation, moisture, pressure and heat. Wool felt is generally thick, stiff and sculptural. By using smaller quantities of wool and encouraging the fibers to pass through and bind to Silk Chiffon (referred to as laminating) a unique and surprisingly durable, drape-able felt can be created. This technique is applicable to yardages for use in clothing and hat design work. ...
