About the Event
In Kyrgyzstan, when a daughter got married, her mother and her relatives felted her a rug. Using their ancient symbols they felted her best wishes and good luck into the rug that stayed with her for the rest of her life.
In this workshop, you’ll create a felted rug (approximately 3’ x 5’) with the instructor’s pre-felt technique, using either the several hundred-year-old symbols or creating your very own.
Come and join us for a four-day workshop and learn:
about the traditional symbols and techniques of the felted nomad rugs
about various kinds of wool that felts the best rugs
how to plan a powerful design
