Felted Vessel Workshop

Immerse yourself in the world of wet felting and create a beautiful vessel (bowl).

Join artist-in-residence Jenny Torino to learn the process of wet felting using loose wool fibers, soap, water and agitation to create a solid form. In this class you will lay out wool fibers over a resist and experiment with color, surface design and form.

Please note: Wet felting is an energy-intensive process, using one’s whole body to agitate, roll and throw the piece for an extended period of time.

Please bring 1 or 2 old towels with you to the workshop. There will be a break to purchase food at the farmstand.

Light refreshments will be served.

Space is limited, please register in advance!

Ages 16+

About the instructor: Jenny Torino 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.
