We have been using and manipulating fibers for millennia, at least 100,000 years and probably a lot longer. Unfortunately, this organic material doesn’t survive BUT just because we don’t see evidence of it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist or wasn’t used. I will introduce you to felt and to spinning yarn on a spindle and a spinning wheel. While I am spinning, we can discuss the history of fiber, felt and twisted cordage. We can also touch on the importance of these technological innovations to our artistic lives today and in the future.
