I am a maker of felt.
For the past 35+ years I have been captivated by the hands-on process of transforming wool fibres into a cloth to call my own. Felt-making. The process is ancient. The contemporary applications and narrative explorations are endless, and enduring. Welcome to my practice; a glimpse into my creative life. I make work for exhibitions, I teach workshops worldwide and I produce a limited range of wearables, bags, rugs, jewellery, vessels, sculptures and more. All of my artwork is made using wool fibres that I colour and manipulate by hand. Every piece is unique. Being able to make things by hand matters to me. I invite you to join me in one of my in-depth workshops, learn the hands-on techniques and create your very own treasures in hand-made felt. I look forward to it! |
