I have always loved arts and crafts and their ability to focus and calm the mind. Living in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales I am surrounded by inspiration from nature which I channel into my creations.
I am a multi crafter who can’t resist trying out as many crafts as possible but have developed a special passion for felt making. Felt making is very diverse and I enjoy all the variations from needle felting to wet felting and nuno felting. The ability to transform fluffy fibres into 3D animal sculptures, pictures, bowls, bags, vases, flowers and scarves is truly magical. I believe it is important to keep these ancient techniques alive, but fun to give them a modern twist. I constantly have multiple projects on the go at the same time, keeping my brain and hands occupied.
Selling my creations at events and studios is great, but workshops give me the biggest reward. Sharing felting techniques and seeing what amazing things people create is simply wonderful and truly makes my day.
I’m excited to be joining My Crafty Place and sharing my passion with new people
