Join Us for a Special Workshop with Ohio Now Artist Celeste Malvar-Stewart
Location: Contemporary Arts Center, Sixth Floor Studio
Includes: Breakfast bites, coffee, and mimosas.
Discover the art of wet felting in this hands-on workshop led by renowned fiber artist Celeste Malvar-Stewart. Come create your own felted bowl using alpaca and wool fibers sourced from Ohio family farms. Participants will be guided through the process of layering and manipulating natural fibers to form a beautiful, three-dimensional decorative vessel perfect as a keepsake. Also included in the workshop, is a private, artist-led viewing of Celeste's work, Amalgamation, in the CAC gallery.
This workshop is hands-on and suitable for adults, or children ages 10 years old and up.
Note: Wet felting can be a little messy — we recommend wearing clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet. Aprons will be provided.
Celeste Malvar-Stewart is a Filipina-American fashion and fibre artist living and working in Columbus, OH. She focuses on creating organic and sustainable pieces, mainly using alpaca and wool fibre which she obtains from Ohio family farms. Malvar-Stewart studied fashion, obtaining her undergraduate degree in London, England and her master's degree in Michigan where she developed her hand-felting techniques to create her ethereal aesthetic. As both a designer and artist, Malvar-Stewart blends her fascination of texture and form, and her work has been exhibited worldwide, most recently in the Bienal de la Habana, Cuba 2024-2025.
