Anderson Gallery Visit: Felting Workshop

 

I thought the artist workshop was fun and enlightening. I have never worked with felt before and the process was fun. As an art teacher I’m always looking for new ideas and exposure to new materials. Hope was smart and witty and made a packed crowed comfortable and fully integrated into the experience. The playful atmosphere around the buckets brought strangers together around a common thread, no pun intended.

 

 

Virginia Center for Architecture

 

What can someone who is so in love with the process and patience of cutting paper for collage say about Kirsten Kindler’s work. The beauty and dedication as well and the conceptual basis for her work collide to create a body of work that references architecture and whimsy. It harkens back to childhood memories of ramshackle forts built in haste with available material but align to create a thing of beauty.
