Workshop with Turkish feltmaker, Mehmet Girgic

We had a great class w/ Mehmet on 2/16, here in Princeton.
We made a small rug/picture with vegetable dyed Turkish merino wool. Everybody had a great time!


It was not just any felting class but we had some exercise as well. Rolling even a small felt like this requiers a lot of muscle power!

nem véletlenül, mert Mehmet még hagyományosan, növénnyel festi a gyapjút.

You make goodlooking rugs! And nice to see that you have been working with Mehmet Girgic. He is coming to the Netherlands in April 2009. I have been in Turkey in his workshop and have made together with my husband (he has the muscles!) a large rug. You can read (or better see, because it is not written in English) on my blog www.dovadi.web-log.nl/fiberfusing.
