Nuno Felt Travel Cloth

Course Description :

Nuno Felt Travel Cloth is a two day workshop, Nuno is the combination of wool fibre and fabrics fused together with the wet felting technique.

The travel cloth is a very important part of my daily life. Each little piece of fabric travels with me in my pocket with a needle and a little thread. Opportunities throughout the day allow small amounts of time where I can stitch my thoughts and feelings into the cloth. Once stitched I join the fabrics together, as the cloth grows so my memories are preserved in a stitched diary.

In this workshop  we will be making up a number of Nuno felted fabrics using a variety of wool, threads and fabric. Often the colour of our chosen fabrics reflect the mood in which we are in. We will endeavour to keep the pieces small so we have a good selection to work with. We will then start stitching on to a piece of our Nuno, thus begins our journey of recording in stitch. We will all have the same starting point but who knows where our cloth will go.

Student requirements:

If students can bring two towels, apron, basic sewing kit and any merino wool, or fibres which they may like to include. I will provide everything else. I will also provide merino for sale at £2.50 per 50g.
