Description
Blue felted jacket by artisan Anja Musek, based out of Atelje Amuse located in Škofja Loka, Gorenjska, Slovenia. This is a masterfully crafted wet-felted wool jacket, created entirely from a single piece of felt. The seamless construction demonstrates a high level of expertise in both felting and garment shaping, as the entire form is sculpted during the felting process rather than being cut and stitched together. The jacket features a rich blend of deep blue tones with organic textures, achieved through the careful manipulation of wool fibers.

Anja Musek says that her medium of expression is wool, and that she finds inspiration mainly in nature. Škofja Loka was also known for hatmaking, where the knowledge of wet felting was used by hatters to make the bases for their hats.
