Nuno Felting Mother’s Day Creations Workshop & Exhibit (Part 2)

We are privileged to have artist Oksana Danziger with us again, this time to introduce teens and young adults in our Project Stewardship program to a new Nuno Felting art project for Mother’s Day! This is a two-part event, the second session taking place today.

Oksana has already introduced us to the history of Nuno Felting (some information is provided below). And during our first session, participants made creative vase designs and decorative flowers as Mother’s Day gifts, an offering to those who do so much to care for our well-being. Our young people have enjoyed collaborating, sharing artistic ideas with one another, following directions and guiding or being guided by peers. Socialization, too.

Today, we invite family and community members to join us for a special exhibit of our Nuno Felting art work to be presented and gifted to caregivers. Oksana’s amazing creations will be on display as well. Our young people will provide a demonstration of Nuno Felting guided by Oksana. We will offer an information sheet about skill-building and the hands-on creative arts process. We are excited to have our young people teach others about what they have learned. Come learn how to recycle fabric materials and manifest ideas for future creations. No previous experience necessary. Special refreshments donated by one of our community partners will be served.

About Nuno Felting

Nuno Felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling, a fiber artist from New South Wales, Australia, around 1992. The name “Nuno” is derived from Japanese (布) and means cloth. This mixed media art combines wool with other fibers such as silk, to create lightweight but sturdy fabrics that are especially good for fashion. Nuno Felt is like a silk gauze that is gaining popularity amongst felters and often used for light summer dresses, shawls, scarves, skirts, shorts, book bags, pencil cases, etc. Almost any material can be used as long as it is thin enough.
