I love the tactile nature of my work working intuitively with the materials at hand, using ancient processes and traditional hand craft skills of wet felt-making and natural dyeing. Inspiration is drawn from indigenous cultural and tribal adornment, talisman, rituals and traditions.

Inspired by the endless resources found in nature, my hand felted wool collection is stylishly complemented with delicate silk scarves, intimately dyed with leaves, bark, petals and iron detritus organically creating fortuitous botanical print designs.

Using honest, natural materials sourced in Wales and across the British countryside, I make a range of bespoke hand-felt bags and a beautiful collection of eco-print silk scarves dyed with my home grown cottage garden flowers, foraged and fallen leaves and bio-waste, such as coffee grounds, onion and avocado skins.

I graduated with a degree in Contemporary Textile Practice and in 2010 received a grant from the Arts Council of Wales to research and explore the properties of British fleece. Using Welsh and British wool has since become an integral part of my designs, and being more stubborn and labour intensive to felt has lead me towards making sculptural pieces, such as vessels, handbags, and unique cutlery.

When not developing designs in my studio, I can often be found wandering the Welsh hills foraging for plants, or walking the coast with my hound dash. I have a passion for sharing and teaching felt making and plant dyeing classes, I specialise in both botanical prints and immerse dyeing.
