Felt Makers-Terelj, Mongolia

Filmed by Chrtstine Martens.
Made with the support of the
Asian Cultural Council
Fashioning Felt presents an extraordinary range of felt. From two-dimensional carpets to three-dimensional environments, each work reveals the virtuosity of both the material and the designers. The exhibition and book focus on felt that has been produced by traditional hand- or machine-felting processes; they exclude non-woven felt and techniques, in order to underscore the essential elements of feltmaking - wool fiber, agitation, moisture, and pressure.
On view at Cooper-Hewitt March 6-September 7, 2009

I am a keen felter. I would love to go to Mongolia and experience felting & embroidery with some of the women. Does anyone know any contacts for setting up such a trip? Thanks
