I am a feltmaker/artist/craftperson - I live in Brigg, Nth Lincolnshire and work from home.

In 2004 I started feltmaking after attending a night class run by a local arts group, which prompted me to buy some books & wool & from there I taught myself the basics.

I now run my own home business; displaying my work locally and at craft fairs/markets and festivals, holding taster sessions/ workshops/demonstrations for adults and/or children & also giving craft sessions at kids parties.

I also work in schools making jewellery & other items using recycled materials at after school classes or full day sessions.

Love of the sea inspired me to make felt pictures framed with driftwood which is collected on the banks of the Humber & also up at Robin Hoods Bay, where some of my work has been on sale.

I also make button jewellery, which began when I decided to make a necklace from a favourite button and I went on from there to make a range of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and brooches from old buttons. I also incorporate them and pieces of broken jewellery into my felt flowers and other felt items.

I love what I do; feltmaking, for me, is the ideal medium to work with and gives so much scope for the imagination. A tradional craft based on very simple, age-old technique which can be used to produce a wide range of unique items.

I meet some lovely people & enjoy travelling to different places.

Life is never dull :)
