You will learn how to make different folds and pleats and pattern felt by tying into objects that will leave an impression. The technique is called shibori in Japanese. If you want a special color on the felt you can try to dye wool, it gives a clearer pattern. You will also work with nunofelting. And suddenly you get more opportunities for design. Color only wool, color only silk, color all or nothing!
