Podcasts about felting

Exploring the textile traditions of her Scandinavian ancestors, supporting Indigenous Andean weavers in preserving their traditions, or producing material for contemporary fiber artists, Anita finds connection between makers. From hygge to the trendy Scandi Style, the design influence of Scandiavian countries has never been more popular. But beneath the graphic lines and bright colors, what is the fiber art and culture of Nordic countries? Anita Osterhaug was raised in a family whose pride in their Norwegian heritage ran deeper than cuisine and home décor. As a weaver, she loved exploring her fiber-art roots and the rich traditions of Scandinavian countries. Underlying the folk art and food, she found a set of values connecting the culture: the importance of nature, community, craftsmanship, and sustainability. In her book Nordic Hands, Anita collected projects in knitting, felting, and weaving that explore those values, inviting contributors to share designs that explore their own connections with Scandinavia. A former editor of Handwoven magazine, Anita has a particular affection for the woven textiles of Scandinavia. Weaving also connects her with another of her passions, half a world away. As a board member of Andean Textile Arts, she works to support Andean weavers in Peru and Bolivia in practicing the ancient weaving skills of their ancestors. The group raises funds to help educate young Andean weavers about their heritage and supports economic development for master weavers to continue their exquisite traditional crafts. Although the weavers of her family tradition and Andean weavers may use different materials, motifs, and equipment, Anita sees a common bond between them. Among weavers, she says, there is always a common language.

Our crisis, our challenge, our opportunity is complex. More than ever, it matters now that we not get caught in separate silos where we focus just on atmospheric carbon, or just on plastic pollution, or just on our cultural addiction to fossil fuels. We need responses that cover all of these fields, new stories that let us move into a future we can barely imagine. So, that's what this podcast is for: to give a platform to people whose perspectives are new or different or challenging or inspiring in ways that will help us all to weave new stories of how we could do things differently -  and this week, we're talking to Yuli Summe of Bellacouche, whose work has taken her from weaving to felt making to the creation of burial shrouds. Yuli is a maker, someone deeply grounded in our connection to the ancestry of the land and the ways we have sustained ourselves from it. She's been working with wool since childhood and is embedded in the rich lore of shepherd, farm and land, of the fullers and spinners and weavers that were so much a core of our history - and will be again as we move to a more localised, simpler economy and way of living. This conversation moved from the courage of one man in the second world war, to the courage of his daughter in laying to rest her fear of death, through fields and high tors and the rhythms of feltmaking. It felt to me like a song to our future and I hope it leads you forward in the same way. BioYuli was born in Norway and although she has lived most of her life in Devon, the traditional weaving and knitting heritage of Norway has deeply influenced her since she was old enough to hold needles to knit with.  She is a member of Make SouthWest and through this organisation, has been an active teacher of felt making and textile understanding in schools, and is part of the Green Maker Initiative.At the turn of the millennium, an Arts Council grant allowed Yuli to travel to Turkey to work with traditional master feltmakers, and it was there that she started thinking about a “lifetime” garment made of felt, inspired by witnessing the making of a ‘kepenek', a felt cloak traditional to Kurdish shepherds.  Yuli is a member of the South West FibreShed – a growing community of fibre and dye growers, processors, makers and manufacturers across the South West whose aim is to produce home-grown textiles and garments in a more healthy, resilient and regenerative textile ecosystem. This group is affiliated to the international FibreShed group.Another Man's Shoes https://www.waterstones.com/book/another-mans-shoes/sven-somme/9780954913731Yuli Somme Bellacouche https://www.bellacouche.com/yuli-somme/Human Composting  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LJSEZ_pl3YGood Funeral Guide https://goodfuneralguild.co.uk/Natural Death Centre http://naturaldeath.org.uk/

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I am in conversation with Lanette Frietag of FeltLOOM. Lanette has long-term experience of alpacas and other fibre animals, and even owned some of the early imports of alpacas to the US. Before that she had llamas. How do you scale up your use of fleece to make living, or at least cover the costs of feeding your alpacas? We all face that challenge. Lanette discovered first wet-felting and then needle-felting, by hand. Recognising a machine was needed to scale up, they searched but could not find one, so they developed their own! The FeltLOOM. I hope you enjoy this episode of how things began for Lanette and why. Also, watch out for a bonus episode coming soon, that will give even more of the backstory. https://www.feltloom.com/ (FeltLOOM website) - description of the machine with pictures and videos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card (Punched card - Wikipedia) - Some background to punched cards for computing for those who are too young to remember them.

Sally is a recently retired teacher, having taught foreign languages for 34 years.  She also taught Art the last 3 years. Sally came to art somewhat late in life. But, as she looked back, she realized creative endeavors have been part of her life since her teenage years. From designing and sewing her own clothes, to cross-stitch, quilting, and scrapbooking, Sally has been creating much of her life.  Sally works in several different media but is most fascinated by Scratchboard and Felting.  Scratchboard was a more recent discovery, and her amazement at what can be created on an inked board with tools and inks never ends.  Sally scratchboard work often features animals, because you can make them as life-like as you want, and you can play with the values of light and dark to create a very dramatic piece.Sally's work can bee seen on her website www.havenhillstudios.com and in person at the Cary Gallery of Artists, in beautiful downtown Cary, NC.Sally's recommend artists are:The International Scratchboard SocietyGinger  GehresLinda Heath ClarkLori Dunn Support the show

Comedian Chris Parker spent 2020 getting famous in the most 2020 way possible: making vidoes about life in lockdown and posting them to instagram.   Specifically he learned to felt, made characters like Ashley Bloomfield, and pulled them together into a hat .. while tens of thousands of people watched along online.   The hat was later sold to the Auckland museum. But it wasn’t all felting and Covid. On his Instagram page he perfectly captured the weird and wonderful about last year, with viral sketches about modern life from pay wave to why everyone suddenly owns a cavoodle. He’s created a show around his felting "This is how I felt" and it’s part of this year’s Comedy Festival. Chris has been in studio with Jack Tame. LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE    

As shearing approaches, I wonder what you will do with your fleece? If you haven't tried wet felting you really should. There is also needle felting but I always feel nervous of needles heading towards my leg. Nuno felting is also worth exploring at least for inspiration - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=nuno+felting+books&adgrpid=73763082393&gclid=CjwKCAjwmv-DBhAMEiwA7xYrd_Ulr9slhUwYmQXDcHN7zT988L9VWhAFGMF2dCkFqY5lL03lx3r_dhoCCQMQAvD_BwE&hvadid=357930469411&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1007460&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8194692641034710950&hvtargid=kwd-301056738399&hydadcr=11424_1841526&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_5sl5f0kz2m_e (check out these books for starters) (some needle felting snuck in there too) Seehttps://www.lizclay.co.uk/gallery ( Liz Clay's website gallery) and be astounded

Natasha Smart is a wet felting textile artist, which means that she starts with materials such as wool fibres and through a multi-step process (which involves water, as you might have guessed) she ends up making a unique piece of fabric. It's like magic to see her start with wispy pieces of wool and have them latch on to each other and end up as a firm, solid piece of material.Letting her imagination run loose, she then uses that textile to create all kinds of items - handbags, ornaments, bowls, decorations, and lamp shades, to name a few.She's based in Exmouth, Devon in the UK and says she finds great inspiration in the coastal living she enjoys there.On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Natasha about how she discovered this art form and why she loves it so much, the things that inspire her to create, her approach when starting a new project, and how teaching fuels her own creativity.

A farm based wool carding business in Central Otago sends fibre ready for spinning to customers as far afield as Russia. Barb and Stuart Peel's carding machine was built in England in 1951 and was shipped to New Zealand where it was used in a Milton woollen mill. It now cards about five tonnes of wool a year. The natural, mixed and dyed fibre is then sold via the Tally Ho website and direct from Barb's wool shop in Roxburgh. Coloured fleeces are carded from the family farm which runs 300 sheep.

Where to find us: Podcast FB Page! Michelle is Ravelry: MichelleTF Instagram: michelletfcrafts Facebook: Valdelia Maker Erica is Weavolution: Erica J, Jahanara, or Weavolutionary Ravelry: weavemage Instagram: weavemage Facebook: Weavolution Intro and Outro Music: Sundown by Joseph McDade, thank you! Finished Objects: Michelle has the drum carder from her local library. She finished carding Evan's fleece. In the process she picked out lots of locks to use in needle felting. Here is a sampling of the different locks from this fleece. Michelle made a tall gnome to go with some of the long locks from Evan's fleece. Michelle received a request from a friend for some cloth face masks. Michelle's friend works with the elderly and wants to be able to protect them and her family and asked specifically for ones that you can insert a tissue into because that provides a better barrier than the cloth alone. Erica finished her tweed yarn. This yarn was spun from superwash targhee and silk she carded together. She spun one single and plied that bobbin with itself using a center pull ball. Erica plans to try this again with fewer passes through the drum carded to see how that changes the yarn. Erica plied together her Organic Polwarth Graffiti and Graffiti Interrupted singles, She is very pleased with the results. Plying two different color ways together can produce a variety of results. Erica has gotten back to her Advent Calendar spinning, now that she is working at home and can reclaim her commute time! :) She has spun two more combed tops from the fiber advent calendar and most of a third. The first combed top she spun from the advent calendar was spun as a 3 ply and is complete. Finished or WIP? Michelle has pulled out her dye pot for the first time in a few years and is trying to dye some locks. They dyed well, but they need to dry before Michelle can determine how well the locks held up. Here is the tub and mesh bag Michelle mentioned that should help her keep the locks in better condition. Works in progress: Michelle has started to card another Icelandic fleece. This one is most likely a moorit (brown) gray spotted fleece. Unfortunately she misplaced the card that was with this fleece, so she can't check with the farm for confirmation. Yarn from this fleece will be a lovely light brown when finished. Erica has started knitting a pair of fingerless mitts for a colleague who is retiring. These were meant to be a useful gift for work, but as with many things life got in the way until now! Erica is still working on knitting a pair of socks for TJ (green) and a pair of socks for herself. She has now turned her first short row heel! So far the short row heel is her favorite heel. Erica has spun two of her advent calendar tops as singles, the green single will probably become part of her "crazy yarn", aka plied with all the other left over singles from previous spinning projects. The purple silk single will be plied with itself, as a 2 ply yarn.

#014. Want to learn to felt? Have wool and need something to do with it? Consider trying felting! In this episode of the Folk Craft Revival podcast we discuss the basic method and theory behind wet felting wool as a way to create hats, boots, mittens, vests, rugs, etc. I was introduced to felting last fall when I took a class from Rosemary and made my own hat and I think it's the type of project many of you will enjoy!

In episode 5, we talk about saying polite no's to friends and family who want freebies, or expect you to be available at the drop of a hat because you 'work from home'. Jill also talks a little about her experience with the gallery and selling her first piece, in addition to her 'wool felting' story of horror! We hear about two great people to follow @clairemilliganartist and @helen_carter_artist and learn about the charity Xmas podcast single that we'll be dropping into iTunes next week (we're not). Of course there is cake - always cake! And Jill treats you to some smooth tunes on the recorder, which we can't decide if it's a highlight or a low point - you decide! And Nikki just talks.....and talks...aaaaaand talks...zzzzzz etc.

Megan and Amy share ZK2020 news, family goings on, and as always their recent FOs, WIPs, and enabling. Grab your knitting and join us!Read more »

It was a magical Wednesday morning, when we sat down with the resplendent Zoë Lianga, of Zoë Emily Designs and Cordwood Studio in Brooke Valley, ON, Canada.

She also does a real nice New Zealand accent and makes stunningly beautiful felt art. Zoë even brought us a tiger-striped felt bandana that can be worn in several ways and IS GOING TO GO UP IN OUR ONLINE SHOP! Yeah gurl! (And thank you!)

Welcome to Part 2 of the Needle Felting introduction! Last week, in Part 1, Cassie covered everything you need to get started with needle felting on your own. This week, she tackles the topic of how to bring the craft into your classroom. She starts the episode with an awkward experience that taught her you can felt with cat hair (3:00). She then talks about the supplies you need for the classroom (5:00) and how you can make magic with wet felting at any level (11:00).   Resources and Links: Wool Buddies The Complete Photo Guide to Felting All Things Needle Felted The Art Ed Now conference can be found here (use the code SAVE20NOW for $20 off your registration!)  

It's time to learn something new! Needle felting gives you the opportunity to create in different ways and with some different materials. In this episode, Cassie gives you an overview of her favorite--and most dangerous!--tools (6:00), all of the different surfaces you can use for needle felting (10:00), and processes and techniques that will work for you (14:30).    Resources and Links Some of Cassie's favorite needle felted sweaters All Things Needle Felted Here is the rundown of the Studio: Fibers course that Tim mentioned

We appreciate your support on https://www.patreon.com/MinuteEarth Getting wet isn’t REALLY what makes wool shrink; it merely exacerbates the friction between the wool fibers, which is stronger in one direction than another, so when agitated in the washer or dryer, they migrate in relation to each other in a process called “felting.” ___________________________________________ To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: Fiber: a threadlike structure forming part of the muscular, nervous, connective, or other tissue in the human or animal body Felting: the process by which wool or another textile can be agitated, often along with moisture or heat, to cause the fibers to migrate amongst themselves and mat together into a dense smooth surface Ratchet: a device consisting of a bar or wheel with a set of angled teeth that allow motion in one direction only Wool: soft curly or wavy hair forming the coat of a sheep or similar animal, especially when cut off the animal & prepared for use in making cloth or yarn Mammal: a warm-blooded, bony, & hairy/furry animal, the females of which give birth to live young and nurse them with milk ___________________________________________ Credits (and Twitter handles): Script Writer: Emily Elert (@eelert) Script Editor: Alex Reich (@alexhreich) Video Illustrator: Qingyang (@QCVisual) Video Director: Henry Reich (@MinutePhysics) Video Narrator: Kate Yoshida (@KateYoshida) With Contributions From: Ever Salazar, Peter Reich, David Goldenberg Music by: Nathaniel Schroeder: http://www.soundcloud.com/drschroeder _________________________________________ Like our videos?

It's the sheep from her property that provide the wool for Teresa's business, Bear Creek Design and Felting. Teresa has been selling her one of a kind needle felted art online since 2006.

In September we are exploring wool felting with fiber artist Dani Ives. In this podcast episode we chat with Dani about her background and the beautiful technique that she refers to as 'painting with wool'. Dani walks us through the unique materials and tools found in our monthly box and we share about the small shop contributors for this month's kit. This month we have another special guest join us as Marie Spaulding of Living Felt offers an overview of how the felt batts are created for our workshop (and future felting!) and shares how her hobby turned into an Austin, Texas-based store and wool manufacturing company.  Learn More: https://thecraftersbox.com/2016-09_featured-maker/

Welcome farmer, artist, crafter, and felter Minna White. Not only does she owns a farm that raises Navajo Churro sheep, she is the artist behind LanaDura.com. An amazing business that sells felted and hand-crafted items from the sheep's wool.Lana Dura's felted bags began as a idea-speck in the hearts of two shepherds who raised Navajo-Churro sheep for more than fifty years combined. Their goal is to give sheep a job and allow them to live long, productive lives contributing to the sustainability and durability of their farm. The sheep are paid to produce a product annually by contributing their wool fiber. www.HeritageBreeds.org

  Greetings, fellow needlers! This is Natalie. I came home in such a sour mood, didn't feel like podcasting, but I put myself to task... git 'er done, I said. And you know... after sharing with y'all, I'm in a much better mood.  Market Bag Pattern My blog posts about Destashing, Ways to Get Rid of My Sock Yarn & Walking and Knitting History of Shoo Fly Pie Wool Pets Where I took my felting class: Naked Sheep. My very talented instructor and friend, Craig. I highly recommend his class. He's a lovely instructor and person. Totoro Teaching our children how to be innovative - my blog post from my “other life.”  (By the way... I can see the value of testing... I just question why we’ve let it become the driving force in our childrens’ education.) How to felt old sweaters (or failed projects) Again... I'm natknit  & Rachel is RachelP (Ravelry links) Blogs Natalie’s blog = I am Addicted Rachel’s blog = Pen and Notebook E-mail us at cloudchancefiber@gmail.com   Rabbit Mnemonic for Single Crochet: (Made some adjustments because what I said in the podcast may not have made a lot of sense :)) 1.) Make a chain (or a series of rabbit holes) 2.) Insert the hook into the 2nd stitch from the right (Go into the 2nd rabbit hole from the right) 3.) Pull the working yarn through this hole from the back (Pull one of the rabbits out of the hole) 4.) You have two loops on the hook (Now you have two rabbit friends) 5.) Pull the working yarn through the back of these two loops (bring the another rabbit through both of the friends. He takes these friends away)   Music Featured: Shoo Fly Pie & Apple Pan Dowdy - June Christy Swing, Swing, Swing - Glenn Miller Pinsonnette - French Accordion Hola Bossa Nova - Juanitos

Kelley chats with Knit Picks designer Kerin about felting your knits and reviews the book "Shibori Knitted Felt" by Alison Crowther-Smith.

           Felting fleece is something we spinners fear right?  Not always.  What if you think outside of the box, and felt fleece to your advantage? The photo shows one time Yarnspinner thought outside of that fear of felting a fleece.  Listen to the podcast to learn all about how a non spinnable fleece was felted into a lovely wool pelt. On the more practical side, fleece batts can be shape felted into anything, as long as you have a form to serve for shaping.  The next example talked about in the podcast is a felted hat. There are many more photos on this blog, be sure to take a look at those photos of the process explained in the podcast. All the music in the podcast is from the podsafe music network.  Since it is so close to Halloween, the tunes are intentional a bit spooky.  A big thank you to all the musicians that shared their music.  Be sure to check out links for the websites of those that you like. Vampire Organ by  Jeff Rosiana was the spooky intro. Spooky Fractal Magic by Embertime  and Spooky by Podcast Troubadour Jeff Shields both provided the interlude music. Windy October Day  by Roland Blum is the podcast's closing song. Thanks for listening!
