Fiber Arts Techniques: Sculpture

Coiling, felting, and weaving are all common techniques used in fiber arts sculpture.

Coiling is the process of wrapping fibers around a form to create a three-dimensional shape.

Wool is commonly used in felting because it has scales that can interlock when agitated, creating a strong and durable fabric.

Weaving is the process of interlacing two or more sets of yarns or threads at right angles to create a fabric.

Macrame is a common type of fiber arts sculpture that is made by knotting or looping fibers together.

Knitting is the process of creating a textile by looping yarn or thread around needles.

Quilts, tapestries, and rugs are all common types of fiber arts sculpture that are made by sewing or stitching pieces of fabric together.

Crocheting is the process of creating a textile by interlacing loops of yarn or thread.

Wall hangings, mobiles, and sculptures are all common types of fiber arts sculpture that are made by wrapping fibers around a frame or support.
