My Five Reasons for Wet Felting in the Summer

14/8/2017

0 Comments

 
As far as I'm concerned, summer is the best time for wet felting! Why?

Here are my top five reasons:
  1. We use water for felting so our hands are constantly wet and that cools us off on hot summer days.
  2. In the summer, we can felt outdoors - on the terrace, in the garden … so the excess water can drip directly to the ground. Fun!
  3. At higher daily temperatures, wet wool cools down slower during felting, so the products are finished faster, using less warm water.
  4. Days are long - we can take on the time-challenging projects and finish them in one day.
  5. In the summer, after felting, the products dry quickly in the open air, in the sun and in a warm summer breeze.
Picture
Can you think of any other reason for the felting in the summer?

Share it as a comment to this post.

I wish you a nice creative summer!
Ps: Felted products, in contrary to the general belief, are ideal for the summer too - as wool, which is a great insulator, also protects us against heat, and 'breathes' nicely at the same time.

1st Crafts Colony, Breznica pod Lubnikom, July 2017

26/7/2017

0 Comments

 
The idea for this crafts colony can be attributed to Petra Plestenjak Podlogar and was immediately supported by Kati Sekirnik (head of the DUO Center) and Katka Žbogar (former head of the DUO Center). The latter, in the hope of its immediate execution, offered her house in an idyllic location in Breznica, near Škofja Loka. The date (July 7th - 9th) was chosen, invitations were sent to all the craftsmen of Art and Craft Centre, who accepted the idea with open arms ... and the creative stone began to roll…
 
The topic of the meeting was 'Dwarfs, giants, dragons and other fairy creators' from the four stories of the Stone Bridge book (Kamniti most), which Karla B. Rihtaršič read during the first evening by the campfire. Ten artisans - members of the DUO section attended the colony: Matija Hiršenfelder, Ladka Peneš, Lili Panjtar, Katja Zrimšek, Anja Musek, Petra Vengar, Klemen Urbanija, Lidija Debelak, Jože Krmelj and Petra Plestenjak. Other creators, musicians, guests who also joined the colony were: Anka Pintar, Daniel Musek, Monika Breuss, Primož Rihtaršič, Maja and Evan Stough, Jana Jocif, Urška Potrebuješ, Janez Jocif...
 
We worked on our craft outdoors, during daytime, and in the evening we hang out by the fire camp and enjoyed live music. The colony was organized under the auspices of OOZ Škofja Loka, the Section of Art and Craft, with minimal costs and a lot of volunteer work. Great thanks for organizing everything goes to Petra, Katka and Kati, to Katka and Matija for hosting all of us in their beautiful location and, last but not least, to all craftsmen and guests who attended the meeting! See you next year!
 
Photographs can only show so much of the colony happening, final creations will be shown at exhibitions in Škofja Loka and elsewhere in Slovenia.
