Le feutre est un matériau textile non-tissé né du travail de la main.
En frottant la fibre de laine à l’eau chaude et savonneuse cette nouvelle matière surgit. La redécouverte de cette technique millénaire et son appropriation par les artistes contemporains ont redonné au feutre sa place dans l’art textile.
Felt is a non woven material created here by hand. By working the wool fiber with warm soapy water, this new material emerges. The rediscovery of this ancient technique dating many thousands of years and the utilization by contemporary artists has given felt its deserved place in textile art. I use a felting technique called nuno-felt, this technique shows a fusion of painted silk (front and back painted differently) with wool in between.
