Ellen Silberlicht
Ellen Silberlicht, based in Lititz, PA, brings a unique blend of humor and insight into her artistic exploration of the world. A graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology’s School for Crafts. Ellen’s formal training as a sculptural potter laid the foundation for her artistic journey. Throughout her life, fiber has played a significant role in her work, with sewing patterns offering a critical understanding of sculptural form. This skill enabled her to transform a simple slab of clay into intricate, three-dimensional pieces. In 2010, Ellen discovered the world of wet felting—a revelation that deepened her creative process. The fusion of wool and clay has since propelled her on an unending artistic journey, blending the tactile qualities of both mediums to create innovative and thought-provoking pieces.

Laura Tanzer
I am a sustainability artisan, entrepreneur, textile artist, clothing engineer, and educator. I work with textiles, sculpting wearable art for the body. I experiment with digital printing by printing my art photographs on textiles and using those prints as basis for creating wearable art for the body. I use raw materials such as vintage and dead stock - all are natural fiber materials, such as cotton, silk, linen. I create almost no waste and teach others how to do the same. My workshops are "small batch" - limited to less than 10 in person as well as online. That affords participants individual attention. I teach the skills for working with textiles, including, but not limited to sewing, handwork, pattern making, and draping.
