Upcoming Class Spotlight
Leslie Pontz
3-D Crochet with Leslie Pontz

March 7, 2014

 

Join visiting artist Leslie Pontz in learning to work with three dimensional crochet, designing a pattern and creating a small vessel of your own. Experiment with combinations of unusual materials like wire, organza, and found objects. More information & registration.

Philadelphia-based Leslie Pontz creates unique sculpture by crocheting wire and monofilament forms and combining them with iron and fiber elements. The result is non-traditional fiber sculpture that challenges the senses and the mind. Leslie's work will be featured in Shaping Space in the Joan Mondale Gallery March 6 - May 31, 2014. Interview with Leslie Pontz.
