Textile artist specialising in unique handmade fine felt
Creating one of a kind wearable accessories and art
I love colour and combine this with inspiration derived from a lifetime of enjoyment of the sights of beautiful wildlife and natural world around us. My work encompasses a broad range of textile arts. However I have specialised in fine felt for the last 12 years. I have taken numerous in person and on line courses with local and international felt makers to improve and refine my skill. Thankyou for visiting my website. I hope you will enjoy a glimpse of what I make.
About Me
My love of textiles began at an early age, inspired by my mum. I have dabbled in weaving, dyeing and machine embroidery before concentrating primarily on wet feltmaking. I have been making felt since around 2013 and have taken a wide variety of in person and on line workshops and courses, both with international and local feltmakers, to bring the quality of my felt to a high standard. I love the magic of creating useable and desirable items from a fluffy pile of sheep fleece! Sometimes I dye or ecoprint the end result. I also enjoy adding machine embroidery to my felt. I make primarily wearable items such as scarves and bags but also like to experiment with mixed media art work and vessels. Much of my inspiration comes from the natural world around us.
I am a member of the International Feltmakers Association.
I am particularly grateful for teaching by Fiona Duthie and Lena Archbold in perfecting my skills and techniques.

Mostly Felt
Showcase of Work
Our felting group's (formerly Malvern Felters) annual exhibition at The Weavers Gallery, Ledbury, Herefordshire was held 4-9 August 2025. We are a group of textile artists meeting monthly for mutual encouragement and learning. Although our primary interest is feltmaking we also enjoy many other aspects of creating with textiles. Below are photographs of my main area of display within this years group exhibition.
Following last years successful winter exhibition and sale.....
This year our group is planning another second exhibition at The Weavers Gallery 24-30th November 2025. This will incorporate the h.Art Christmas weekend dates of 29 and 30th November.
This second exhibition will be an opportunity to view and purchase with a focus on good quality, unique, handmade presents.
Worcester Open Studios and Herefordshire Art week
This was my first year participating in Worcester Open Studios. I shared a space with two artists - Heather Farmer (@artworkbyHeather) a painter of landscapes and florals and her husband Steve (@castlesreimagined) who paints Castles at their home in Great Witley. Thankfully the weather was kind!
As I was outside for this event I was able to demonstrate some small wet felting projects whilst I was there. This was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed explaining to the visitors how and why! Thankyou to everyone who came and chatted and went home with something. Every purchase is appreciated!
My second year participating in H.Art (Herefordshire Art week). 6-14 September at The Lion Ballroom Leominster. A gorgeous venue, I was again exhibiting alongside around 14 other artists. Like last year I really enjoyed taking part in h.Art. Great to get such positive feedback from the visitors and also to spend time with the other artists in such a beautiful venue. Next year will be a little different as I hope to take part in h.Art again but exhibit with 3 other textile artists at The Weavers Gallery, Ledbury.
MOSTLY FELT - Winter Exhibition and Sale 2025
Last year for the first time our felting group held a late autumn exhibition/sale at the Weavers Gallery, Ledbury. This was an opportunity to purchase those special handmade unique, artisan gifts for wearable art and the home. I hope you enjoyed looking round and came to support us. Thankyou!
We plan to be there again 24-30th November 10-4. This includes the h.Art Christmas opening weekend of 29 and 30th November. Hope to see you there!
