Artform: 
Textiles

My main textile art form is handmade felt. Within this medium I aim to explore the beauty of texture and colour within nature. I am constantly fascinated by the possibilities of this 6,000-year-old craft and like to push its potential with many of my playful 3D pieces. Joyful and contemplative artworks sit alongside each other in the form of wall hangings and delightful homewares. I also produce wearable art in the form of scarves and bags. When I work I am aware of being part of the bigger picture and that nature and art can uplift and heal us. I also like to inspire and impart this feeling of wellbeing to others when they participate in my workshops. Since this is my second year at Alscot I am aiming to produce some site specific pieces too.
