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.
