Explore how wool becomes felt in this workshop geared for children and adults. Students will learn the process of felting to create a useful soap and washcloth combo that is as fun to use as it is to gift to others! Tuition includes felting supplies. Students bring 2 or 3 bars of soap and 3 hand towels to the workshop. (Hand towels will be used in the felting process and do not need to be new). If you bring oval shaped soap (Dove, Yardley, Kiss My Face, for example) they would make beautiful Easter gifts. Participants under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Children under 12 attending with a parent are $5 (adult must be registered at full-price). About the Instructor: Liz Canali studied art and art education receiving a BS at Southern Connecticut State College. Her felt work has been displayed in galleries throughout New England and Florida. Liz has been featured in Western Massachusetts Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, Felt New Zealand and the Orlando Sentinel. Liz's work includes sculpture, illuminated felt, wall hangings and women's accessories (hats, scarves, bags). She has a background in art administration and teaching. She teaches classes and workshops in both wet felting and needle felting.

Make OMAM one of your stops during the next Ormond Art Walk (Saturday, April 1 from 3 to 7pm) to meet Daytona Beach artist Andrew Balint. This event kicks off his week-long pop up inside our Reception Gallery (April 1-7). Admission is FREE, and we'll have a cash bar for beer/wine and fun signature drinks! Visit all of the Art Walk stops by using the FREE shuttle courtesy of AdventHealth, which picks-up and drops-off right in front of our Peacock Pond. "I am a modern artist who specializes in creating abstract paintings. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of San Francisco, and I now call Daytona Beach my home. Art has always been an essential part of my life, but it wasn't until I recovered from addiction that I truly found my passion for it. During my darkest times, art was the only thing that gave me solace and a sense of purpose. It allowed me to express my feelings and emotions in ways that words couldn't. My addiction was a battle that took me to the edge, but through it, I discovered the transformative power of art. It became my therapy, my sanctuary, and my lifeline. I found that creating abstract paintings was particularly cathartic because it allowed me to be free and uninhibited."
