Patty Benson
Artist Profile
|
 In 2007, talented fiber artist, Patty Benson, transformed the small apartment she shares with her husband into a creative studio. Based on form, function, and bold color, her work utilizes the time-consuming technique of crocheting and wet felting wool to create tactile pieces with a contemporary twist.
Learning how to crochet a few years ago, she immediately found a medium that combined her love of wool with her love of home decor. Feeling that home accessories shouldn't just be limited to ceramic or glass, and that felted wool doesn't have to mean something old-school, she loves the idea of applying the ancient technique of felting to modern design and new uses.
Patty loves the fact that wool is a renewable resource and she stands behind a non-mass produced sensibility. Each piece is lovingly handmade in her studio and she believes that the more attention put into the craft, the better the quality, the longer it will last and the less need to buy more, more, more.
