Student work

A range of pieces of hand made felt created by students at a recent holiday workshop held in Braidwood.

Some students were first time felters, while others have experience of basic felt making and working with nuno felt.

Students produced samples incorporating surface design, while others made nuno scarves, water bottle covers using a resist, beads and covered polystyrene balls for use as pincushions.

Melbourne Scarf Festival, 2010.

This year’s festival revolves around the concept of reflections. Scarf makers are
encouraged to reflect upon their art and craft and what has inspired it in the past. Where
have your ideas come from? What are your roots? Does your craft express your cultural
or artistic heritage?
