Creative Play: A Felting Mini-Workshop

 

Have fun making your own felt goods in this workshop with artist Gika Rector.

 
 

Tuesday, August 19
6 - 9 pm
$35 ($30 Jung Center members)

 
 

Learn to make nuno felt, a fun and fast approach to an ancient fiber medium. Lay luscious merino wool out on a piece of loosely woven fabric. With soap and water and a variety of movements —rolling, throwing, rubbing—the fabric becomes felted with your unique design. By the end of the workshop, each student will have a completed scarf or wall hanging. With rich colors and interesting textures, felting is an inviting, creative experience for the senses. Materials are included in the registration fee.

 
 

Gika Rector, a former artist in residence at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, has been exploring felt-making as an art form for over 10 years. She gives classes and workshops in felt-making at various schools and centers in the Houston area and beyond.
