Visiting Artist Nina Crozier – Felted Wool
​
Nina Crozier will be our Visiting Artist at Jemez Artisans Gallery from June 27th to July 10th. We hope you’ll come by and check out Nina’s fabulous felted creations! There will be an artist’s reception for Nina on Friday, June 27th, from 1:00–3:00.
I lived in Jemez Springs for 17 Years where I leased and ran the Bath House with Kate O'Donnell. In 2006 Bruce and I moved to Colorado where I owned and ran a women's clothing boutique. In 2017 we moved to Cochiti Lake to retire. Sadly, Bruce passed away in 2023.
It was in Colorado that I took felting classes from a friend, and have been felting ever since. I use merino wool and a special needle to push the yarn into a piece of felt. I also do wet felting where I wet my felted picture, rub it with soap, then roll it with a rolling pin about one hundred times. After it is rinsed I lie it flat to dry. I get inspiration from nature and pictures. I don't draw anything first. Sometimes I use stencils on the glasses cases. Hope you enjoy my creations.
