PaperFelt Illuminated:  February 7th to March 2nd, 2025

Wool and paper layered together produce a unique and inspiring textile that illuminates more beautifully than other combinations. Paper adds structure to the felt while allowing for a light wool layout, creating a warm translucency.  The paper enhances the textural and sculptural qualities of the felt. When illuminated the light has a honey coloured glow. When unlit, the surface is matte and white, like porcelain.  

Our main project will be a cylindrical lamp. You can choose whether to make a table lamp or a hanging lamp.  We work with paper layered reliefs, raised fins, layered dimensional shapes, and flat raised surface shapes.

All workshop materials will be presented by video, online classroom resources plus downloadable PDFs.  In the three weeks of the class, in addition to making a great textural light,  we’ll look at lighting hardware, including sources, plus design process for illuminated felt and construction.  For beginning to intermediate feltmakers.
