The Duluth Art Institute enriches daily life with dynamic, innovative visual arts programming that upholds excellence and promotes inclusive community participation.
Make your house a home by following Central Asian traditions. Explore different styles of felt rugs from Kyrgyzstan, and then begin crafting your pre-felt on Friday evening. Saturday, design and lay out your rug, and designate Sunday to wetting down and shrinking the rugs by hand. This is a physical process, so please come prepared to be on your feet and engaged in your project. Your rug (beginning about 6 ft x 2.5 ft and shrinking approximately 40%) can be used in your home for many years to come.
