VICTORIA ANDREWS loves fiber in all forms. She spends most of her free time knitting fanatically, felting, weaving and dyeing her own silk, fiber and yarns.   She has successfully sold her work online and at shows and fairs, but her greatest skill may be her ability to inspire her students.  It is great to have her back to teach felting at the Blue Ridge Fiber Fest.

Nuno Felting—Beginner to Advanced

Nuno felting is a technique for making thin, flexible felted items.  Fine fibers, including wool, alpaca, and mohair, are bonded to sheer fabrics.  The result is a lightweight comfortably wearable item.  Students will learn 3 different techniques of nuno felting  and then make a fashionable scarf out of fine wool bonded to silk. 2 to 8 students.
