Polly Blakney Stirling Polly is a felt textile designer known for her contemporary approach to
feltmaking and her wearable felt art. Her past experiences as an interior
designer in Boston, Designer Mannequin in London and a leather worker and weaver
in Australia have all contributed to her creative development. In 1994 she
developed a technique for making lightweight felt appropriate for the subtropics
of Australia. The term "Nuno" felt was coined by Polly and her
assistant to describe the technique of joining wool fi- ber into a base weave to
make a light and drapable felted fabric. She has shared her innovative approach
through workshops in Europe, New Zealand, Japan and the USA, where she now
resides. |
