Description

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has had an interest in sculptural needle felting and wants to learn hands on. Through the creation of river rocks individuals will explore basic techniques and applications in the art of felting. As a Fibershed producer we will be using the wool from our icelandic sheep here on our land who you can also go visit before or after the workshop. This workshop will be led by needle felting fine artist, Alison Smith and is two hours long and refreshments will be served. Please note that this workshop is for adults only. A 10% discount is applied for families of the Wildcat Canyon Community School. Alison Smith is a multidisciplinary/installation artist and fourth generation Bay Area native. Working mostly in photography, watercolor and wool, she enjoys mixing her own earth pigments, experimenting with different types of wool, and cultivating plants for making ink, dye and medicine. She travels extensively in the western US collecting photographic imagery, natural material and inspiration for her projects. Her work can be found at wildcatwest.com and @_wildcatwest_ on Instagram
