October 01 - 24, 2010
Edge of the Forest : a show by Ayala Talpai.
We are so excited to have the honor of hosting a show for Fiber Artist Extraordinaire, Ayala Talpai. We are happy to invite you to meet Ayala and her fabulous, mystical collection of felted creatures and unique apparel. Superb craftsmanship brings her inner visions to fruition. Her works will tickle and move you.
Here’s a little bit about Ayala:
Ayala has spent her entire life making stuff, making do, and doing well. This happy obsession with creativity has led to the first innovation in fiber arts since the Stone Age -- NOW! felting needles turn wool into a sculptural material! Having taught all ages and abilities all over the place, Ayala has also written two authoritative needlefelting workbooks.
Her Secret Mission:
getting Wool Fleece used as a
sculpture medium
on every kitchen table, in every school class,
art room and studio across America & around the world!!
Ayala will also be teaching a needle-felting class called “Lovely Lassies” on Monday October 4, just after WoolFest. Learn her incredible techniques, plus you get to hang out with her - What a treat. Sign up for her class ASAP at taoswoolfestival.org. It fills up fast.
