Avigail Ochert

I am a creative practitioner with over 10 years experience teaching children and adults.

I specialise in feltmaking and have taught many techniques, from basic feltmaking to figurative or abstract pieces and 3D work.

I started felting in 2003 and became hooked. At the time I was working as a gallery educator but couldn't quite believe that it would be possible to teach children feltmaking. Eventually I gave it a go and the results were incredible. All the children I work with find feltmaking an amazing experience, allowing them to express creative ideas through a tactile medium. I've even felted with babies and toddlers and adults love it too!

Check out the gallery pages on my website for examples of the range of work I've done with participants, including extensive work with community groups.
