WORKSHOP | American Landscapes: Felted Painting
with Mallory Zondag | All Levels | 16 +
Explore the art of wet felting and needle felting combined with principals of color theory, atmospheric perspective and more to bring your landscape to life! Participants learn how to create felted fabric from scratch, how to work with pre felt and explore techniques like felt collage. The wet felted fabric forms the base of the image in the style of an under-painting. Needle felting techniques create depth and definition in the image. This 6-hour workshop celebrates the summer exhibition, American Landscapes From The New York Historical Society, and includes admission to explore the show.

Meet your instructor, Mallory!
MALLORY ZONDAG is a Mixed Media Fiber artist and artist educator. Her work explores our tenuous relationship with the continuous growth and decay of the natural world and humanity’s place within those cycles using hand felted wool, wax, fibers, and objects both found and recycled. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting, weaving, sculpting and stitching and through these many mediums, seeks to bring the ephemeral into physical being.
Mallory has been an Artist In Residence at Acadia National Park, The Allentown Art Museum, The Wassaic Project and many schools and community organizations. During many of these residencies she has led community art programs where felted wool living walls are collaboratively created with students of all ages and abilities and the final sculpture finds a permanent home within the school or community space. She was commissioned to create the sensory space for Artsquest's Accessible Arts program and was commissioned to create a component of one of Amalia Mesa-Bains's installations for her retrospective at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Mallory currently lives in New York, traveling around the Northeast teaching workshops, leading community art programs and creating work in her studio.
