Alisha is a needle-felter and illustrator originally from Byron Bay, Australia. Alisha moved to Manchester in 2016 and upon travelling around the United Kingdom she became inspired by the diverse wildlife found here. Alisha grew up surrounded by nature and watching David Attenborough documentaries, as such she has a great interest in learning about native wildlife and sourcing local materials for her sculptures.
Textiles are inspiring due to their history and connection with storytelling and the practise of being creative in a community. Textiles are all around us and hold function in their every day use- however they are also very flexible and can become beautiful artworks. The act of felting is a special one as you can make anything using wool, a needle and a bit of patience. It’s mindful to sit in a group and tell stories while learning a skill together.
Alisha will guide you in creating a sculpture and together we will all have some great time chatting and being peaceful through creativity.
