The Felted Wardrobe
What’s that mannequin wearing?
For this year’s Student/Faculty Show, fiber arts instructor Renate Maile-Moskowitz and her students in the “Felting: Expanding the Possibilities” class outfitted this fashionable model in a collaboration they titled “Rhapsody of Blues.” In addition to wet felting and nuno felting, these pieces incorporate techniques like hand-dyeing and millinery — see below for the key.
