classes: Felting

Women-owned

I am a textile artist based in the West Midlands, UK. I have particular fondness for the textures of wool and textiles and my work often reflects inspiration from organic forms within nature.

I have been felting and teaching workshops for over 18 years and am a member of the International Feltmakers Association. A trained teacher, I also have a Masters in Art, Health and Wellbeing and this underpins my belief that we can all take time out to relax and fulfil our potential.

I am a regular tutor at MAC, Birmingham and also give talks about the craft of feltmaking. I also teach and exhibit at museums and art galleries too. I have worked with groups focussing on mental health and traumatic bereavement issues. I have been interviewed several times on the radio and featured on 'Kirstie's Handmade Christmas' a few years ago!

Whatever a person's skill level I aim to encourage them gently and build confidence to take time out, explore a beautiful craft and have a sense of relaxation and achievement.
