Welcome to my website!
Here are a few links to some of the current projects keeping me busy!
Reshaping Identities
This piece will go on show at the Timeless Textiles Gallery in Australia in June. Much of my textile work is now inspired by my Welsh heritage, referencing traditional quilt patterns. ‘Welsh Quilt’ uses the log cabin motif, and the colours of the diverse landscape that surrounds me are revealed by slashing and manipulating the felt.
Crazy Quilt
Inspired by the collections at the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagan’s. It was quite a puzzle creating this contemporary interpretation of a crazy quilt incorporating the patterns from woollen knitted socks. Using recycled fabric and no stitching!
Crossing Crafts
I am collaborating with printmaker Alexandra Motiu as part of a Society of Designer Craftsmen project. These are early experiments printing on aluminium. There will be more to come!
British Wool for Feltmaking
Another lockdown project was editing this book with a team of International Feltmakers Association members. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn about all the wonderful British fleeces.
Making Felt Bags
Writing this book was one of my 2020 lockdown projects and kept me busy during that difficult period.
Felt School Experiments
I really enjoy this time of year when I can experiment on new ideas to teach at my annual felt school in February. Rather than make bowls, I thought I would create some dishes.
