Amuse felt clothing exhibition in Solcava, Slovenia

Location: Rinka Center Time: 2. - 16. June 2019 Guided tour of the exhibition with the artisan: Sunday, June 16 at 11am. Also in English. Exhibition in Rinka Center was a part of the prize Anja Musek received as a winner of the 2nd International EX-FILCORE SOLCAVA 2018, Ex tempore creators in felt with the topic 'HERBS'.

In this exhibition artisan Anja Musek presents her clothing collection for the first time. All clothes are handmade in a special technique of wet felting, where she connects the softest merino wool with a great quantity of other natural fibers - silk, viscose, ramie and hemp. A special fiber intertwining and strong shrinkage create metallic shine, wrinkles and other interesting effects on the surface of the felt, which are usually not typical of the basic wet-felting technique. The presented clothing is thin, light, slightly elastic and comfortable, despite the fact that the felt created is extremely strong. Everything is made in seamless (3-d) technique, therefore all fibers are connected into a unified material without sewing; some garments have zippers etc. that were added to the garments after felting due to functionality. In addition, the clothes were produced completely without cutting, which means no waste of fibers - 'zero-waste'. All of this makes this the most demanding technique of wet-felting. ​ Since each product is unique, master artisan produces most of the clothing 'made to order', according to the client's wishes. Felt clothes are wearable throughout the year, because they will keep us warm in the winter and protect us from heat in the summer. The possibilities for different clothing are endless – in color combinations, design variations, fiber combinations, thickness of felt, etc.

On Sunday, June 16 at 11am visit the guided tour of the exhibition in beautiful Solčava and the Logarska valley nearby! New exhibition in Rinka Center opens on the same day at 15.00 (ExFilcore 2019) - why not visit both exhibitions?
