Fashioning Felt Exhibit at Cooper-Hewitt in NYC

From now until September 7th, you can catch the Fashioning Felt exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in NYC.
From the site:

This exhibition will explore the varied new uses of felt—an ancient material, believed to be one of the earliest techniques for making textiles. Made by matting together wool fibers with humidity and friction, felting requires little technological expertise and is an extremely versatile material. The exhibition will begin with historic examples of felts, showcase innovations in handmade felts, and feature contemporary uses of industrial felt in a range of fields, including product design, fashion, architecture, and home furnishings. The exhibition is being organized by Susan Brown, assistant curator, Textiles.
