Felting Fairies (3D and 2D fibers)
March 22 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Irish fairies are traditionally titled Aes Sídhe in gaelic or the Sidhe or Shee, which roughly translates as “the people of the mound.” In the spirit of the March 17 St. Patrick’s Day holiday, visitors are invited to create their own 2D and 3D fairies using needle felting, sewing, and a variety of fiber construction technique: methods including a standing figure or a flat frameable piece.
Special guest teaching artist Jamie Campbell will demonstrate and guide participants through original 3D fairie construction. Jamie created large scale sculptures and instablation work in the gallery at Cherry Street Pier during Phantastic Phibers. She has taught several workshops in Studio 16 including creating bats, light up jellyfish, and Delaware River Monsters.
Resident Artist Bonnie MacAllister creates 2D and 3D figurative work, and she will guide you through combining techniques and pattern making. All materials provided, all ages and abilities.
Bonnie has exhibited at the State Museum of Pennsylvania, Woodmere Art Museum, Trenton City Museum, and the Yellowstone Art Museum. She opens her studio 16 at Cherry Street Pier for community fiber arts experiences.
