Sam Coon

medium: Felt art

'Samantha Coon is a self-taught fiber artist, working in both wet and needle felting since being introduced to felting in 2009 while living in mid-coast Maine. 

The sculptural qualities of wool are impressive, making creative possibilities seemingly endless. She gleans much of her inspiration from nature, particularly patterns, colors, shapes, and textures. From there, various types of items are created using unspun wool roving and batting including vessels, wall art, sculptures, jewelry, hats, and wearable felted garments and scarves that are nuno felted.

Along with working in her studio, she attends regional art shows, and regularly teaches needle and wet felting classes to both children and adults.'
