The instructor: Denise Bernard : je m’intéresse aux fibres textiles depuis l’enfance. Après une période d’intégration des fibres textiles à l’aquarelle, je pratique le feutre depuis une quinzaine d’années (feutre à l’aiguille, feutre en technique mouillée et feutre nuno). Je suis particulièrement intéressée par ce qu’on appelle l’art portable (wearable arts).
