In this fiber art workshop, we’ll learn how to sculpt with wool through that art of needle felting. Artist Mallory Zondag will teach us how to work with wire to create an armature, how to cover it with wool, how to use the tools to form the wool into some fantastic fungi, and finally how to mix and blend colors to bring your wooly mushroom to life! Cost includes all supplies.
About the artist/instructor: Mallory Zondag is a mixed-media fiber artist and artist educator. Her experience with textiles while in art school led her to create both independent and community sculpture through a variety of fiber art mediums. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting, weaving, sculpting, and stitching, seeking to bring the ephemeral into physical being. The growth and decay of the natural world, the duality of discomfort and attraction we feel towards it, and humanity’s place within this dichotomy informs her dimensional textures and sculptural pieces.
