“Twelve Years Later, I’m Still a Felter! ”

March 5, 2022 10:00 am Zoom SB Fiber Arts Guild presentation by Taiana Geifer , on her experiences felting art pieces, wall hangings, scarves, and pieces for the home. Her title: “Twelve Years Later, I’m Still a Felter! ” Taiana writes: “As a felter, my mission is to create timeless, versatile pieces of art by bringing ancient felting techniques to the modern textiles world. Each piece is unique and 100% handmade by me. I began experimenting with handmade fabrics in 2007 while visiting family in Germany. What started as simple artistic curiosity quickly grew into a passionate and inspired desire to create with and share the ancient felting process. Collaborating with Calvin Klein’s head designer Francisco Costa, I created a number of custom felted fabrics for CK’s 2009 fall RTW runway show. Since then I have worked on my own collections of scarves and blankets, selling to stores world wide. I have also collaborated with a number of other designers, including Helmut Lang, Maiyet and Rick Owen, creating fabrics to be used in their collections. After almost a decade of making textiles for the fashion industry, I longed to bring my craft into the eyes of the art world and home interiors realm. “ For more Zoom link visit https://www.sbfiberarts.org
