Liz Marsh
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” https://www.portisheadartsfestival.org/ and the Portishead Summer Show regularly. I enjoy sharing my passion of felting with others by running workshops at my home in Portishead. Come and see of Liz's work at Studio 3 Gallery.
