Felt Flower Workshop

Learn how to create felt flowers from wool roving using the wet felting process. During the workshop you will learn how to lay out the fibers, blend different colors and incorporate design elements like silk into your flower. You will also learn about different types of wool fiber and where to source your own materials to continue your felting experiments at home. You will leave with a felted flower on a stem that you can make into a brooch or put in a vase.

Light refreshments will be served. Space is limited, please register in advance!

Ages 16+

About the instructor: Jenny Torino, AOOA AIR ‘24, is an interdisciplinary artist who combines art and science to increase one’s knowledge and appreciation of living things and the ecosystem. She primarily uses fibers such as felting wool, textiles, yarn, and paper mâché to create outdoor interactive spaces and felt sculptures and paintings. She focuses on tiny, living things that often get overlooked such as moths and fungi. Jenny observes and works slowly leading to hyperfocus on shape, form and color. Focusing on these details becomes a meditation. She hopes her work kindles curiosity and motivates people to look closer at their surroundings and at themselves.
