Hand Felted Dot Vases by Patty Benson.

Based on form, function, and bold color, Patty Benson’s fiber art utilizes the time-consuming technique of crocheting and wet felting wool to create tactile pieces with a contemporary twist.

Her fiber art combines her love of wool and modern home decor.  “Felted wool doesn’t have to look old-school,” she says.  “I enjoy applying the ancient technique of felting to modern design and creating new, functional uses for the art form.”

She stands behind a non mass produced sensibility and enjoys working with wool because it is a renewable resource.  Each piece is lovingly created in her one-woman home studio.
