Explore 3-D Watercolor Nuno Felt
Oriskany, NY, October 25-27, 2019
Judith Dios, Instructor
Immerse yourself in creativity and play with fiber and color as you create a hand painted nuno felted piece with fabulous 3-D surface designs. Design a wearable work of art of your own, such as a scarf, wrap, or if you have nuno felting experience, a seamless chemise, vest, or tunic. Or, make a unique journal or pillow cover, or several pieces of fiber art jewelry.
Use soft merino wool, luxurious silk fabric and hand spun silk yarns to embellish with 3-D surface designs such as rosettes, blossoms, abstract ruffles, collage layering and “corkscrew” fringe. Learn to use resists and the much-loved “No Roll Method,“ which replaces laborious traditional hand rolling, leaving more time and energy for creativity!
After your project is felted, you will hand paint color directly onto your piece using fabric dye. As the dye flows, and combines to create new colors and subtle transitions, it enhances the inherent beauty of nuno with a watercolor effect. Learn color mixing and heat setting of dyes, as well as proper finishing techniques, which result in a durable and long-lasting nuno felt.
Particular attention will be paid to factors that result in a successful project. At the end of the workshop, you will take home a unique and wearable work of art, or accent piece, for your home décor!
Instructional handouts will be provided.
