What is Nuno Felting?
Nuno felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling, a fiber artist from New South Wales, Australia, around 1992. The name is derived from the Japanese word "nuno" meaning cloth. The technique bonds loose fiber into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. The fibers can completely cover the background fabric, or they may be used as a decorative design that allows the backing fabric to show. Nuno felting often incorporates several layers of loose fibers combined to build up color, texture, and/or design elements in the finished fabric.
Class Description
Students will be given a silk scarf and then they will choose from a large selection of alpaca fiber to use for creating a nuno felted design on the scarf. Nuno felting techniques will be taught. The student will take home a lovely nuno felted scarf.
