No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
I have been felting for fifteen years and have taught workshops for adults and children in North America, the UK, and Aotearoa New Zealand. My animals and birds are hand-crafted from wool and silk, using a combination of wet felting and needle felting techniques. The figures are inspired by vintage illustrations and are hand-sewn from natural fibres and antique fabrics. I work out of a small home studio, surrounded by a cacophony of cicadas and children. Alongside felting, I study art history and English literature at the University of Auckland.
