I describe myself as a felt artist and particularly enjoy wet felting – often describing it as painting with wool.  I have tried to reduce the carbon footprint by using more British breeds of wool as much as possible.

Many interesting textures can be achieved by incorporating other fibres and embellishments.  I love using silk fabrics (often hand dyed) with extra fine wool, a process called Nuno felting to make scarves, hats and handbags.

I enjoy Eco printing and botanical printing on felt, silk and upcycled clothes.  Eco printing is a wonderful process of creating gorgeous, permanent prints in a health conscious and environmentally mindful way without using traditional powdered mordants.

I also take part in Artport and the Portishead Summer Show regularly.

I enjoy sharing my passion of felting with others by running workshops at my home in Portishead.

Recently I have been asked to produce work for the “Little Harbour Gift Shop” on the Falkland Islands.

It certainly kept me busy!
