About
feltmaking
Wet felting starts with raw wool. The raw wool is pulled into thin, crosswise layers. It is then wet, rolled and agitated until the wool fibres lock together and form a sturdy fabric. The fabric is cut into shapes and dry felted onto a backing, using a barbed needle. Once a basic fabric canvas is available, details are added using a range of materials, including silks, threads and additional raw wool.
How do I care for my artwork?
It is best to keep your artwork in a temperature-controlled, dry environment and away from direct sunlight, if possible. The acrylic glazing used in your frame must be treated differently than glass to avoid scratching and fogging. Your artwork was shipped to you with a microfibre cloth, which should be used to gently wipe away fingerprints and smudges as needed. Stubborn dirt can be removed gently with water and mild soap. Never scrub or use cleaning products on acrylic glazing, as it will ruin the finish.
