Can we exploit physics in wet felting ?
The question can I exploit the physics in wet felting has been running through my mind in the last few weeks. I think it was sparked by the fascinating TV series called from ‘From Ice to Fire’ . This made me start to recall the facts I learnt at a highly technical and fascinating felting workshop with Lisa klakulak . Long before I was a felter I was an engineer working on chemical manufacturing processes. What you might ask has that got to do with wet felting . Well professionally as an engineer I was involved with changing the physical state of materials in an efficient and environmentally friendly way. By more fundamentally understanding the physics of the process we could become more efficient. As an example finding a way to keep the water flow turbulent to make the heat transfer more efficient and use less energy. Exactly the reserve of…
