Felting with Janet Griffin

Our gifted weaver, Janet Griffin, will be here showing us how to felt with fluffy wool.  Amazing painterly technique! Create a unique textured canvas with colorful Romney and Corriedale wool as your paints! Your one-of-a-kind artwork will be suitable for framing. Surface embellishment includes mohair, silk and glass beads. Treat yourself to organic fiber art! You deserve it! You may bring a photograph. This will be a wet felt method. You will get wet. Students are requested to bring a towel.

Tuition: $40. Materials fee: $10. .

Thank you to all who came out in support of these amazing young talents. We were completely blown away by the amount of talent that can be found here on the Middle Peninsula and we’re honored to support it in any way we can. We have a number of programs that will be available for teens, in 2020, that will support the development of skills in both the visual and musical arts. Have a teen who might be interested?

Or that mushrooms make amazing canvases for painting? Neither did we until we spent time talking with a few of the artists from our Artful Giving show during the Holiday Open House yesterday! If you missed this event we’ll have plenty of opportunities in 2020 to interact with incredible artists and artist/educators. To keep up with us head over to our website and sign up to receive our newsletter or continue following along on social media! Special thanks to @flyingcowcreations and @artyqueue and others who spent their Sunday with us sharing their work, and knowledge of their art, with the kids and our community! We truly appreciate your time and talents!
