About the Creator

I have been felting and teaching felting for over 14 years and I still love it! Winning the wreath competition on Ch4 Kirstie's Handmade Christmas was a great experience and I now love to pass on the techniques I have discovered and practised over the years. I teach in my Studio, at National shows, privately to groups and online. There is so much pleasure for all to be gained  by felting!
