Teaching and Feltmaking
I have been felting for about 10 years and am a member of the International Feltmakers Association. My work has been in magazines, showcased on various internet sites and published in a book.
Having spent a few years teaching textiles in a secondary school I then began to teach textiles to adults with visual impairment. I have also taught felt making at an evening class in Ripon and now teach felting workshops once a month.
