One has to look twice in order to realize that the lion on the cover of the filzfun summer issue is a felted sculpture made by Kiyoshi Mino, a master of the felt needle, whom we present in a portrait in this issue. In a step-for-step instruction for a life-like sculpture of a sparrow he tells us some tricks of his trade. Also we portray the German felt artist Gabriele Wehrmeyer, Gabi Bauer and Mari Nagy, who, together with her partner István Vidák has decisively contributed to theEuropean felting renaissance. Further we report from the German-speaking Felt Encounter in Detmold, the exhibit »Gehalten & getragen« (Held & Worn) of the Filz-Netzwerks in Marienmünster and we look back to ten years of advanced training offered by the Filzschule Oberrot.
