felt maker

June discovered felt making in hometown Melbourne and after a “Tree Change” in 2007 found her living in North West Tasmania, she started exploring the medium.

She now makes fabulous felt objects from the fleece of her own alpacas which she combines with silk and other natural fibres.

Felting is an ancient technique that I use to make contemporary wearable art. The process is very tactile and physical and combines my love of colour, fabric and texture.
