Minnesota Feltmakers Guild
The Guild’s goals are to promote felted fiber art, increase awareness of feltmaking, and offer a forum for feltmakers where information can be shared. For information on the Minnesota Feltmakers’ Guild, please email: mnfeltmakersguild@gmail.com
Felted rugs with Guest Teaching Artist Flóra Carlile-Kovács
In Kyrgyzstan, when a daughter marries, her mother and relatives would make her a rug. Using their ancient tribal symbols, they felted their best wishes into the rug that stayed with the daughter for the rest of her life. Flóra shared the rich history and traditional nomadic felting techniques that we used to create our own rugs. We learned about tribal designs, prefelt making and cutting, wool inlay methods, defining edges and the handling and felting of this large project. Textile Center of Minnesota hosted this 5-day class in August of 2024. Several of our Guild members participated.
