SUMMARY:Fun with Fiber: Stitching\, Felting and Weaving with Jenny Torino
DESCRIPTION:Monday – Friday\, July 27 – 31 \n10 am – 12 noon \nGrades 2 – 6 \n$135 per student \n  \nJoin us for Fun with Fiber where students will discover stitching\, felting and weaving while creating their own unique fiber works during the week’s art projects. \n\nSession 1: Scrappy Plush Monster Hand Sewing Project \nLearn hand sewing skills and design a custom monster plush with fabrics scraps of fun textures and colors. Learn how to thread a sewing needle\, straight stitch\, whip stitch and sew buttons. Leave with a cute plushie. \nSession 2:  Felt Pennants \nAre you a fan of a band\, sports team\, school or town and want to express your creativity? Make a triangular felt pennant to decorate your walls by creating lettering\, a color scheme and pictures. Then cut your design from flat felt sheets and put your pennant together. You will design lettering and pictures then learn how to lay it out and attach to your pennant. \nSession 3: Wet Felt and watercolor Geodes \nGeodes are rocks that are plain on the outside and contain beautiful crystals and colors on the inside. We are going to make Geodes out felt sheets wool through a process called wet felting. You will learn all about where wool comes from\, what you can make with it. Next create a large watercolor geode using torn paper\, ink and watercolor. \nSession 4 and 5: Woven Dream Catchers \nLearn how to weave in the round with colorful yarns. Add hanging strings\, beads and feathers to make it a dream catcher. \n  \nAbout Jenny Torino: \nI am an interdisciplinary artist that primarily uses fibers such as felting wool\, textiles and paper to create felt sculptures and interactive spaces. I focus on the living ecosystem and patterns in nature that often get overlooked. I allow myself to work slowly\, leading to hyperfocus on shape\, form and color. Focusing on these details becomes a meditation. \nMy felted sculpture highlights the connection between artist & material and art & the ecosystem. Familiarity and intimate connection with every stage of wool production is part of my process. My work also involves supporting and building community by using materials from small farms and sharing knowledge of the felting process with the public. \n  \nSummer Art Scholarship Form \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY \n

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Keithline: Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Keithline: Puzzle\nAugust 22 – September 27\, 2026 \n\nArtist Elizabeth Keithline presents Puzzle\, a solo exhibition of assemblage artworks using found paint and materials. \nPuzzle is a follow-up to Breaking Broken\, Keithline’s previous solo show\, which explored human tendencies toward self-destruction and fragmentation. Puzzle pivots to examine how people create system of order out of chaos\, how they solve problems and navigate life’s challenges.  \nThe show continues Keithline’s longstanding exploration of human self-extension through systems such as architecture\, technology\, cars\, and the modern built environment—especially as these systems relate to the natural world. \nIn addition to her solo show\, Keithline will jury a companion exhibition in WRCA’s main galleries titled Keep It Together\, featuring assemblage-based artwork that conveys a material and conceptual sense of solving and/or coping. \n  \nAbout the artist:\nElizabeth Keithline has been a weaver since the age of 14. In 1996\, she pioneered a unique sculpture technique: weaving heavy-gauge wire around large objects and then burning them out. Her artistic practice now includes painting\, public art\, and installation work. Keithline is fascinated by abstraction—how far ideas can stretch\, how many multiples of a single thought can be expressed\, and how viewers engage with abstraction as they perceive an idea and then carry it away with them. \nPuzzle marks Keithline’s 23rd solo exhibition and Keep It Together will be her 23rd juried or curated group show. She has exhibited widely across the United States\, with solo shows for the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation\, ChaShaMa NYC\, Jane Street Art Center\,  \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION\nSaturday\, August 22\, 5 – 7 pm \nPlease join us to meet the artist and view the works; light refreshments will be served. \n  \nThe WRCA galleries and art reception are always free and open to the public. \nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm \n  \nImage: Elizabeth Keithline\, Stripe\, Brown\, Pink\, found paint and wood
