Learn to needle felt! Oh, butterflies! Fluttering bursts of happy colors! In this class, we will be making a butterfly out of wool, using needle felting techniques. Needle felting is a process where wool fibers are pressed together using long, special needles of different sizes, turning wool into felt. Because of the sharpness of the needles, this class is for students 12+ years old, and guards will be provided. During these three hours we will cut out butterflies from wool felt , “paint” the wings with wool, and shape the body dimensionally. Your butterfly can be turned into a brooch or hung on the walls. No experience necessary. Ages 12+ welcome. Materials fee of $5 (cash only) to be paid to the instructor at the start of the class. This workshop is part of Craft Collective’s 2nd annual Fiber Fest! Join in the main day of festivities on Saturday, June 14th, for a day filled with fiber fun! It’ll be a vibrant celebration of natural textiles and sustainability, bringing together fiber artists, artisans, sustainability advocates, and local farmers. On June 14th, we’ll host a live demonstration of sheep shearing, more live artist-artisan demonstrations, interactive craft for families, artist vendors, food and more. This event is designed to build community within the Southern California Fibershed, showcasing the journey of natural textiles from sheep to finished fabric.

In this show, “Blush” becomes a site of convergence between warmth and coldness, the private and the public, the intimate and the speculative. The title evokes not only the bodily reaction of flushing skin—often involuntary and tied to emotion, exposure, or embarrassment—but also the ephemeral hues of tenderness, shame, desire, and nostalgia. It asks: What does it mean to be emotionally visible in a world that often demands detachment? Vanessa Rishel invites viewers to explore vulnerability and softness through her most recent and experimental works. Drawing on personal memory, sensory perception, and speculative imagination, her practice negotiates the thresholds between inner affect and external expression. Through color, and spatial arrangement, Rishel creates atmospheres that oscillate between comfort and unease—spaces where emotion is not only seen, but felt. Join us at Mortis Studio for the reception on Friday, June 13th from 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. "Blush" will run from June 13th - July 13th.
