Anna Katherine Curfman creates nunofelted scarves and wraps with a strong sense of
color and pattern. Feltmaking is a personal, physical, and meditative process that is
at once fluid, fast, slow, and detailed. Each
piece evolves from the artist's inner calm into something that is planned, but with unexpected twists.

She creates each scarf and wrap by using feltmaking to migrate merino wool through silk chiffon in a process called nunofelting. This process creates a lightweight felt that is extremely durable and soft, with a delicate appearance. The scarves and wraps are versatile enough to be worn with all kinds of clothing.

Trained as a graphic designer and photographer at the Rhode Island School of Design, Anna Katherine worked closely with Dale Chihuly, designing his art books. Chihuly's love of color inspired she to seek color in all things. When she began feltmaking, she returned to her roots of sewing and needle arts and blended them with her design sensibilities and love of color.

She is also a mother of three in Seattle.

Please come see us in Jackson Hole and Bellevue in July, Sun Valley and Evanston in August and Chicago in December!

New scarves and wraps are available on Etsy and Artful Home. Check out my recent scarves on Flickr, updated May 09.
