Artist to offer felting workshop
Adults age 55 and up can participate in a specialty art series at the Tuscarawas County Main Library this fall, thanks to a grant from the Ohio Arts Council.
Ohio-based artist Barbara Nell Morejon will lead a seven-week felting class centered on creating flowers.
“Barbara is an exceptional felter with her work on display around the world,” adult and teen services manager Robyn Guedel said. “During this series participants will explore various wet felting techniques to craft flowers.”
Creative Aging Felting Series is made possible in part by an investment of public funds from the Ohio Arts Council. The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally and economically. Project funding provided by the OAC is through a grant from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in collaboration with E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.
The series will run Mondays, Sept. 16 through Nov. 4 from 1-2:30 p.m. A culminating flower show will be held Nov. 11 when participants will showcase their floral creations to friends and family. The seven-week felting series is limited to 12 people who must commit to all seven weeks of the series.
To register for this free series, visit the library’s online event calendar at www.tusclibrary.org or call 330-364-4474. All classes will take place at the Tuscarawas County Main Library, 121 Fair Ave. NW, New Philadelphia.
