Artist information
Textile Artist and Shepherd of Rarebreed Longwool Sheep
I am an obsessed textile artist focusing on fine felt creations. Inspired by the colours and textures I find in my garden and wild places, I blend fine wool, silk and other natural fibres into wearable art and home decorations.
Felting itself deserves a rethink. It is one of the oldest methods of making fabric yet it is often dismissed as being potentially too bulky, too coarse or too kitsch. On the contrary, felting is a very flexible process allowing me to create the finest and sheerest scarf, a highly detailed human sculpture or a luxurious, deep, naturally curly fleece; all determined by design and the fibres chosen, then matched with the appropriate technique.
I absolutely adore the joy, the loveliness and, most importantly, the sustainability of wool and other natural fibres, and the endless possibilities of shape, form and texture.
Member of International Feltmakers Association. In addition to regular exhibits I display and sell my pieces online at my website http://oakandwren.com. I also offer classes in various aspects of felting at my farm studi
