About the event
Join Artist-in Residence Jenny Torino to learn how to create fabric from wool roving using the wet felting process (fiber, soap, water and agitation). During the workshop you will create a fabric sample approximately 5” x 5” that can be turned into a bookmark. You will also learn how to felt decorative elements into your fabric such as silk and yarn, which is the first step in making bigger projects like felt scarves and vessels.
Light refreshments will be served. Space is limited, please register in advance! For Ages 9+
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.
