PRIMAL FELT

SAT / JAN 29 / 1-3pm

Come learn ancient techniques for transforming raw wool into modern textiles. Felt's primitive and organic process lends itself to endless possibilities and its tactile appeal and versatility make it the perfect home textile. Felt artist Ashley Helvey will demonstrate three different wet-felting techniques ranging from 2D to 3D.

And, if you are a follower of her INCREDIBLE taste-making blogs, here's your chance to meet her in-person!

2010-12-01T08:01:00.000-08:00

To inaugurate December, artist Katy Krantz has created a diverse arrangement of nonfunctional and functional ceramic works on the idea of "the centerpiece." Her quixotic shapes range from serving dishes, vase containers, gigantic beads and abstract sculptures--the connecting point being her unusual scale and a surface treatment that reflects a curiosity in material and an obvious trace of process.

KATY KRANTZ:
The Centerpiece

ART OBJECTS + LIFE OBJECTS:
ceramics for a table top, for flowers, for a celebration, for a dinner party, for personal ornamentation, for enjoyment!
