Artist Statement
Working in the fantastic Peak District National Park, making 3D sculpure from fibres including sheep wool, Alpaca, dog fur, recycled silks, and bamboo fibre. I am a self taught maker and my work continues to change and develop. I mainly needlefelt but some of my work is wet felted, my Highland cow has hundreds of dreadlocks lovingly rolled by me! I like company and hold informal workshops for beginners to needlefelting. We always have fun and participants often to return and find a real love for this type of craft.
