Martha Stewart takes you behind the scenes of the Cooper Hewitt Felt Exhibit. Featuring work with handmade felt and some artists who work with industrial felt including Kathryn Walter.
This presentation brings together two designers who approach incorporating felt into architectural use from different starting places but with beautiful and unexpected endings. Both designers collaborate with architects to create decorative and functional felt interventions. Kathryn Walter works primarily with industrial felt while Claudy Jongstra uses raw wool and natural dyes. See examples of their work and learn about their process. Moderated by curator, Susan Brown.
With tongue in cheek Kathryn Walter takes you on a tour through the many ways that she uses felt in her home. Part “How-To,” part Public Service Announcement, this playful romp through the material culture of felt walks the line between practicality and farce.
