I first discovered the world of needle felting and fell in love with it in 2020. It all started with a basic kit my daughter and I chose to do together.

The needle felting process itself involves using specialist barbed needles which when stuck repeatedly into the wool results in it being bound together. Some of my larger creations have taken over 40 hours of manual labour to produce.

I was initially drawn to the simple Waldorf style and have since developed my skills to create 2D scenes and even taken on commissions based on customers personal photographs. With countless types, styles, and objects that can be needle felted, theres always a new challenge to try out.

My work is quite playful, with animals being the most popular at local craft fairs. I exhibited at Peterborough Cathedral in 2022 which I am immensely proud of as over 8,000 people visited the exhibition.

I look forward to being a part of NOS and creating more art this year.
