This amazing space has only been open a few weeks so expect new things every time you visit. The front of the store features a showroom of wearable, useable, playable art pieces by Beth Goldowitz and Sharon (Sascha) Ascher, joined by John-Michael’s fashion. Beth primarily works in felt: installations, rugs, furniture upholstery, bags, whimsical dolls in the shapes of animals, Humpty Dumpty, goddesses, aliens, soaps with felted wool covers, and intricate bead work jewelry and purses. Sascha’s work involves taking natural elements like leaves and flowers and fusing them with fabric to create sliding panels for space dividers that allow light to flow. Fabrics are also stenciled, dyed, and silkscreened, and turned into panels or pillows, or fused with glass to create tabletops, walls, installations, or smaller display pieces. The ladies of Greenpoint View also provide interior design and consulting for business, institutions, and homes, especially children’s spaces (felt is great for kids’ spaces.)
