About the tutor:

I am a felt artist and love working in wool to create my art. My work is either wet felted or needle felted to create pieces inspired by nature and or the countryside around me. I love creating toadstools, animals, birds and flowers in both 2D pictures and 3D sculptures. I have been felting for about 18 years which started as a hobby and I fell in love with the process of making the fluffy wool into a piece of felt and the endless possibilities of the medium.

I began teaching felt making in schools and running workshops locally about 12 years ago.

I am continually learning from the process of felt making in both techniques which helps shape my art work.
