Nuno Scarf workshops

This week tutor Shirley Wallace held two Nuno scarf making workshops for the Winter Workshops. The Nuno scarf technique was invented by a fabric artist in Australia who wanted to be able to wear felted wool scarves, but found the climate too hot. The artist then developed this technique which melds silk with merino to create a wonderfully light, soft, and beautiful scarf. Here are some photos from these very successful workshops.

At the end of Friday's class, there was some time left to make small felted balls. These can be used to make earrings, necklaces, or as embellishments for other projects.
