description

This series of videos documents feltmaking at Purevjav’s place in Khandgait, Yeroo, over two days in late summer. Several families participated in the feltmaking, each bringing their own wool and sharing in the labour of beating and drawing the felt. I visited Purevjav in the company of my mother, along with Dolgorsuren and Gerlee from Tasag. The recordings in this first part of the series depict the beating of wool, as well as milking cows in the evening on the first day of the feltmaking.
