Wet felting is a technique in which wool is turned into felt using water and soap. It is a traditional technique used, among others, by artist Milana Khalilova in the exhibition Tatar* Kiss. In her work Xade, she depicts a Circassian forest garden. Her installation of felted objects evokes the fruit trees once cultivated by Circassian communities, Indigenous to the western North Caucasus. During the workshop Listen, Feel, Felt, you will be introduced to the work of Milana and others in the exhibition Tatar* Kiss, after which you will get to work with this technique yourself.
