Nuno Felted Stained Glass Shawl with Patti Barker (Sunday, June 4)
If you enjoy puzzles, you will love this workshop. Students will cut up rainbow dyed silk gauze and then piece it together using a mosaic nuno felt technique with fine merino wool to create a stained glass shawl. Choose from bright colors that will match just about anything or neutrals like black, tan, and copper. The instructor will also provide a demonstration on how to turn this shawl into an asymmetrical poncho.
Students need to bring a 3’x 9’ rubber rug mat (buy a 6x9 and cut in half); a foam pool noodle at least 3 feet long; wetting method (either a one-gallon garden sprayer, or a ball brause and bucket); sharp, full-sized scissors; at least two old towels you don’t mind staining; four table risers (called bed risers); and an apron (optional). Students should wear comfortable shoes.
