Book Review: Felting

Felting by Lynn Huggins-Cooper is an interesting new book out through Pen & Sword Books on the history of the felting practice. 

This title will be of particular interest to contemporary and theatrical milliners/hatters working in the medium. There are several chapters devoted to the technological process and shift in methods/purposes for felting throughout history.

Other aspects of interest: there's a lengthy section of interviews with artisans working with the process/medium, and helpful "how-to" chapters concerning the difference between wet felting and needle felting. There's also a helpful directory of suppliers.

If it sounds interesting, check it out or request it at your local library!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
