FEATURED ARTIST RECEPTION

Beth Rosenberg had been a ceramic artist for thirty years, when she was introduced to needle felting. She fell in love with the medium. 

Beth stopped working in clay and has been solely needle felting for the past five years.  

She enjoys working with the wool and bringing the animals to life and particularly likes working with the different colored wools, making new colors that complement her work.  

Beth strives to bring to each animal its own personality and is rewarded when they bring smiles to the faces of others.
