Wig Making: Precision and Patience
Trent Pcenicni
Wig making is one of the oldest fiber arts, dating back to ancient Egypt, where wigs were crafted from human hair, wool, and plant fibers to signify status and protect shaved heads from the sun. Like weaving and spinning, wig making transforms raw fibers into a structured, wearable form, requiring precision and artistry. The process involves knotting individual hairs onto a foundation, much like traditional rug makers tie fibers into intricate patterns to create durable, decorative textiles. This ancient craft continues to evolve, blending traditional techniques with modern materials to shape characters, identities, and artistic expression.
