For many years I taught embroidery and textile craft in London and The Midlands. Since coming to live in the rural landscape around Dorstone in the Welsh Marches, it seems a natural progression that I became interested in the possibilities of woollen fleece and its changing character when made into felt.

My work combines a love of the natural world and an interest in the decorative and colourful quality of ethnic embroidery. Felt-making cannot be too controlled and it pleases me that each piece takes on a surprising nature of its own during the making process. My beads are made from newspaper and are then hardened and painted with acrylics. The Bloomsbury set at Charleston in the 1930’s have been an inspiration for my palette here. The finished product - necklace or earrings - are light and easy to wear.
