Technique Information
Arte Fran Moreno
I am a Chilean textile artist and teacher. I research and work with the traditional needle felting technique on fabric, giving my work a new exhibition medium and materiality. He realizado exposiciones y clases de mi investigación a nivel internacional, colaborando con instituciones culturales en Francia, Canadá y Ecuador."
Fiber selection
We use Chilean sheep hair from the south-central part of the country, carefully sheared, cleaned and hand-carded by artisans from Pelluhue.
Traditional dyeing
Each fiber is dyed using ancestral methods, using natural elements such as onion, cochineal, and native bark to achieve unique colors.
Needle creation
We work the felt layer by layer, interlacing the fibers with a special needle to give shape, light and shadow to each imagined design.
