From sketch to stitch…'

I use photography, observation and beach combing, often from the Norfolk Coast, taking the time to look up and around at the natural world. This inspiration is captured in my sketchbooks, using pencil and ink. I work with merino fibres using both wet and needle felting, embracing the natural shrinkage and organic texture of the fibres. The felt can be left ‘flat’ or formed into a three dimensional shape, the pieces are further refined with needle felting to create tactile wall hangings and sculptural vessels.
