Profile Information

What aspect of textiles are you interested in?

feltmaking, dressmaking, dyeing, embroidery, patchwork

Where did you learn your textle skills?

self-taught plus 2 on-line classes with Sharon B.

Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??

I used to do dressmaking for years. I did some patchwork and embroidery. I still love all of this but after I have discovered feltmaking I think I have found my medium I am most comfortable and happy to work with. So at the moment I work mainly with wool and I dye it too, using natural dyes as well as acid dyes.
I like to explore colour, texture and shape in felt. I love to work with all kinds of fibres, from the finest cashmere and merino to the coarse Scottish Blackface or Welsh wool.
I like to recycle too. I like to make things which can be used, either wearables or in interior. I am just so thankful for having two healthy eyes and hands which allow me to create!
