ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Using a sheer, hand-dyed silk scarf as a base, workshop participants will apply colorful wool to create a lovely wearable art accessory. Fiber artist Patti Barker will demonstrate the technique of Nuno felting, in which the wool is laminated to the silk with the use of soap, water and bubble wrap.
SUPPLIES:
Bring a full-size pair of scissors, all other supplies included with workshop fee.
