MAKE YOUR OWN FELT HAT AND SILK SCARF (24/10/2023)
THE WOOL PRODUCTION CHAIN (10/01/2016)
I am a felter, very fond of wool and I would like to recreate even today the supply chain that once was an important item in the economy of nations.
In Alto Adige we have some small family-run woolen mills where the wool is already selected by local shepherds after the shearing. My work allows me to recognize the inestimable value of this precious raw material, free and sustainable. We have created a group of enthusiasts who is ready to use this amazing material in order to create traditional artifacts as well as innovative ones, according to today’s needs. This virtuous circle, can create synergies with very positive impact on the territory. Today we hold courses, meetings and workshops in collaboration with many local organizations.

THE WOOL PRODUCTION CHAIN (10/01/2016)
Una giornata immersa tra lana e colori seguendo i ritmi naturali che la natura richiede per preparare, lavorare e sperimentare i processi di lavorazione della lana.
Un'ottimo workshop in compagnia e con persone preparate sulle materie proposte. La signora Lucia è una donna simpatica e stravagante, disponibile e molto gentile e ci ha pure deliziato con la sue sue gustosissime ricette di cucina. |
FROM WOOL TO FELT
Lucia, felt maker
During the experience, the artisan will explain the various stages of wool processing, starting with the production of sheep's wool by small local farmers in Valsugana. In particular, the processing of carded wool and the subsequent transformation into felt will be proposed. The artisan will explain the path of raw wool from washing to carding using a special tool. After a short break with an organic snack you will go on with the design and construction of a personalized felt hat or alternatively a felt seat / seat cover, suitable for all seasons and all uses. You can choose your favorite hat model and add decorations with various colors wools, that can also be used for the seat cover.
