There is a rocky cragg in our jungle. Here comes the wild wolf. Is that a big red tongue or blood dripping from his jaws? The felted nuno den made by pupils from Model Village Primary School is a place to chill out, relax, tell stories and IMAGINE!

Here you can see a close up of Alex's felted tiger. He worked well to "draw" with the wool fibres.

Here you can see the lovely details of the felted den made by pupils from Model Village Primary School. As the wool fibres shrink during the felting process they make lovely wrinkles and a variety of surface textures as they drag the threads of the turban cloth along with them. Science in action!

After 5 weeks of hard (but FUN!) work, Kirsty from AllSensesArt and the children from Model Village Primary School put the felted cover over the wooden den frame.

Callum worked with Alex to make a scene with a tiger chasing a zebra. They got inspiration on how to "draw" the animals from childrens' book illustrations.
Katie made free style fibre "drawings" of jungle plants , tendrils and a snake in her panel.

For the nuno felted den. 16 children from Model Village Primary School worked together to make 15 LARGE triangles of felt. Here they are working hard on th efelting process. Wetting the fibres with warm soapy water and then rubbing until the merino wool fibres felt together. In this nuno process the fibres also link into the turban cloth base.

Holly was one of the talented year 5 children who made the felted jungle den at Model Village Primary School. Here she is laying over the netting before wetting the merino wool fibres with warm soapy water.

The light shines in through the nuno felted cover on our den.
Rebecca is relaxing in the den while she sews her nuno felted cushion. She is one of the 16 children from Model Village Primary School who worked with Kirsty from AllSensesArt to make this large den.

16 children from yr5&6 at Model Village Primary School made this den with Kirsty from AllSensesArt. We worked on it for 5 half day sessions. Here one of the year 4 children has sneaked in!

Here is our nuno felted den in the school foyer. It's really impressive when we have visitors to the school and great for us to chill out in.
