In Lisa’s 3-day workshop the following week, students will take their paintings and, using different colored dyed wool and Lisa’s felting technique, turn them into felted landscape paintings.

The natural beauty of the surrounding landscape is her inspiration for the colors found in her hand dyed woolens, fibers, felts, and yarns. Lisa uses only natural and earth friendly non-toxic dyes. She enjoys passing on what she has learned over the years; raising sheep, processing the wool, hand dyeing, felting, spinning, weaving, knitting and rug hooking. Painter and printmaker Lisbeth Firmin is known for her urban landscapes. For over three decades her work has been shown at numerous galleries and institutions across the country and abroad and is included in many important corporate & private collections. She is the recipient of a 2007 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Printmaking, a Pollock-Krasner Grant and fellowships at MacDowell Colony, Saltonstall Artist’s Colony and the Vermont Studio Center.
