claudy jongstra

“partly primitive, partly animal, part magic,

the felt fabrics of claudy jongstra are unique in

their rough sophistication. some seem to come

straight from the back of the beast, others are

worked with a finesse that makes them a statement

in raw elegance. for jongstra uses only raw materials –

raw silk, raw linen, raw camel hair, raw cashmere and

especially raw wool – which she treats with original

techniques that result in some of the most creative

felts ever seen. felt is her instinctive fabric, one

she never tires of reinventing.
