The Art of Felting:

The first step to creating these beautiful felt pieces begins with gathering some of the world’s finest sheep’s wool from New Zealand. Making felted wool is an age-old, time-consuming process of bonding fabric with fiber. 

Once the wool is bound into a sheet and the desired thickness is complete, the felt is laid out to dry. From there, the felt wool is cut and re-worked into many complex shapes and designs. The many sheets of wool might contain several colors merged to create patterns and layers. This takes a well-trained, talented artisan and is a true labor of love. The results are colorful, one-of-a-kind textiles that are stunning to behold.
