We have some wonderful artists here in Bridgton!

Ruth Boisvert has created Literary Feltations, currently on display at Gallery 302, and has loaned one special set to display at Bridgton Public Library as well. 

”I’ve always loved reading. I still have many of my childhood books and vivid memories of many of the  various characters. I was thrilled that my two sons loved books and storytime as much as I did. I am happy that I was able to bring some of my favorites to life.

These creations are sculptures and are not suitable as a child’s toy. Some are gently posable.

Needle felting is the process of transforming wool into 3D objects using a barbed needle. When you felt wool, you are agitating the fibers so that they bond together creating a solid, dense fabric.

My process involves building a wire armature and then building the structure and mass. These sculptures take 8 to 16 (or more) hours to complete depending on complexity, textures, etc.

I will be donating 5% of my sales from this show to the Bridgton Public Library.”
