Season 3 Episode 3 Felting in Colour: An Alaskan School Adventure

In this episode of Felt Matters, hosts Heather Potten and Vivienne Morpeth explore a unique felting project led by Jeanne Osnas in Anchorage, Alaska. Inspired by Episode 1 of the podcast, Jeanne worked as an artist-in-residence, introducing elementary students, aged five to eleven, to the art of felting. Over two weeks, students created colourful flat felt pieces, later transforming them into mosaic art. The project nurtured a collaborative environment, with older students like Jeanne's daughter, Rosemary, helping younger peers. This episode highlights how felting can engage young minds in creative expression and foster a sense of community through art.
