The Art of Feltmaking
4.30 pm – 60 minutes duration
In this workshop conducted by Romina Dogliani “Dorò”, an artistic feltmaker, we discover the ancient technique of feltmaking. It’s very simple: you apply warm soapy water to the wool, press and rub the wool (from Sambucana sheep from the Valle Stura) and the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material that is resistant, warm, and versatile.
