FELT:

 

Felt is a non-woven textile that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibres together. There are many different types of felts for industrial, technical, designer and craft applications.​The felt technique is simple and easy to handle, and allows us to make a variety of objects, such as sculptures, accessories, bags, rugs, jewlery, hats, 3D objects and clothes as well.

 

Feltmaking is still practised by nomadic peoples (altaic people:  Mongol, turkish people) in Central Asia and elsewhere.

 

PAPIER MACHÉ:

 

Papier maché is paper elaborated in different ways or in pulp. It has been used for centuries to produce hard wearing and decorative items from everyday household objects to boats. It is a light weight, yet strong easily accessible material, recyclable and with a very low cost.

 

Both techniques are easy, inspiring, and really funny!
