About me
I completed my degree in Multimedia textiles in 2001 at Loughborough University. I specialised in embroidery techniques including CADCAM embroidery and domestic sewing machine. Later I discovered a passion for felt making and have been hooked ever since.
The inspiration for my work comes from a fascination with natural and organic forms and also the processes and tecniques involved in felt making. Felt making is a physical process which lends itself well to natural forms.
