I am a felt artist and have been making felt since 2002. I have supplied felt bags, cushions, felt paintings and flowers to shops and galleries throughout the UK. I am fascinated by the history of felt making and love drawing with the beautifully soft wool fibres. Felt making for me is a wonderful craft that allows me to express my love for colour and texture.

I have been working with wool for over 23 years and create felted impressions of landscapes using merino wool fibres. I also make three dimensional felt and make flowers. My work is framed behind glass or the felt is stitched onto fabric and stretched over a wood frame as a textured painting. I work from my shop and studio in Warwick and teach art classes and felt making workshops. I am also an OCR exam moderator. I teach workshops to enhance portfolio work and add variety and different media to the Art and Design course, and Textiles course. Workshops are for all ages. Come to my shop and enjoy a felt making workshop !
