About the Item
Felted wool from the artist's sheep, I AM THE BIRD, MY CAT IS THE WOLF was included in The Lily Too Shall Function (Nov -Dec 2023, San Francisco) at The Jones Institute included in a group art show curated by The Jones Institute
Studio AHEAD.
As a "painter of wool," Jessica Switzer Green's palette is 20+ different breeds of sheep wool. Considered an emerging artist at 60 years of age, Jessica's workshop studio is located in a semi-rural area of Northern California, home to sheep farmers fiber lovers and grounded in the local "fibershed" defines as a 100-mile radius from the studio's location where the wool is sourced.
Artists Statement:
It all started with sheep. I became entranced with the beauty of raw fleece, rarely seen in the raw, more often processed into yarns and roving to be woven, knit, dyed and processed into unrecognizable material from its original form. Felting is as close as we come to enjoying the look and feel of raw wool. The interconnection between sheep and humans has helped us weather centuries together, and I hope to honor this mutual dependency in my work.

JG Switzer, LLC
JG SWITZER designs “Fine fibers for the well-dressed home.” Most of our pieces are designed
made at workshop in Northern California, USA where we also make our own fabric with an industrial needle loom for home goods and private commissions. We set out in 2018 to "blanket the world with beauty," and we strive daily to offer the very finest tailored blankets, furs and pillows found nowhere else in the world. Three all natural fiber collections to choose from. Custom, sew-on demand inquiries from the trade are welcome. HERITAGE SHEEP COLLECTION is wool milled in California, USA from small flock sheep on the Livestock Conservancy’s “at risk” list. Wool is nature’s finest, 100% natural renewable and sustainable fiber. LEGENDS COLLECTION, milled at one of the oldest, continuously operating mills in England (1780s), the mill carries a Royal Warrant for supplying interior fabrics to Windsor Castle and has provided their woollen cloth for costumes to productions such as Harry Potter and Titanic. The mill bespoke dye pieces of the Legends collection to make them exclusive to us. Our signature finish is always a 4" silk charmeuse border. UNFORBIDDEN FUR COLLECTION. Finally, fur you can feel good about. “Upcycled” Toscana real fur fabric is tanned formaldehyde-free, from carefully sourced, left-over Italian glove factory cuttings, re-purposed and sewn into luxurious blankets and throws.
