Never Felt Before! Party The extraordinary textiles of Claudy Jongstra

Friday September 9, 2005 The first solo exhibition in the United States of Dutch designer Claudy Jongstra’s incredibly crafted natural felts, incorporating unique, complex constructions of silk-metallic organza, rag linen, alpaca, cotton and cashmere, as well as the exotic wools taken from her own flock of 200 indigenous, but nearly extinct, Drenthe Heath sheep. The stage is set, just prior to opening the doors. Murray talks felt to Wendy Goodman. View from the front.		Jeanne Wikler from the Dutch Consulate and Claudy. Felt party at Moss Gallery.
