Maker's bio

I have an established background in designing and making textiles, working primarily with wool. With a passion for colour, I work with machine knitted and felted wearables and soft furnishings, which I applique, embellish or stitch. I have become fascinated by hand felting for the freedom of colour mixing, mark making and sculptural possibilities it offers, which I find very exciting .

Sarah reviewed: Make a beautiful felt bag in The Forest Of Dean

"Great day with excellent tutor who clearly explained the wet felting process. I'm very happy with my bag. Lovey lunch provided by her husband who had grown all the salads. "

Christine Waygood. Contemporary Textiles. responded:

"Hi Sarah, Thank you for your lovely review. I hope you you got home safely, and manage to complete the finishing touches on your bag. I had a lovely day with you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Kind regards, Chris"

Jane Hanlon reviewed: A One-day Feltmaking Course to Make a Fabulous Felt Hat in the Beautiful Forest of Dean.

"First I would like to say I learnt so much. It was hard to see how a few strands of wool would several hours later be a really stylish one off hat that fitted. Christine, skill, knowledge, patience made the whole experience a joy and something I will treasure. Thank you "

Ali Warren reviewed: A One-day Feltmaking Course to Make a Fabulous Felt Hat in the Beautiful Forest of Dean.

"We had a lovely day and came away with 3 magnificent and unique hats. Christine (and her partner and dog) were all very welcoming. Beautiful views from the house too Christine explained everything clearly and there was plenty of materials and equipment to complete the task. Highly recommended."

Christine Waygood. Contemporary Textiles. responded:

"Thank you Ali, It was a pleasure to teach you, and I hope you're enjoying your new hats!"

Hannah Emerton reviewed: Make a beautiful felt bag in The Forest Of Dean

"Chris was very welcoming and knowledgable and we created some very colourful bags. There was a a wide range of felting wools to choose from and everything was provided including a delicious soup lunch. Access the house was a little difficult and wouldn’t suit someone with mobility issues."

Christine Waygood. Contemporary Textiles. responded:

"Thanks Hannah, It was lovely meeting you both. I'm so glad you enjoyed your day here, and hope you'll enjoy finishing and using your bags. Chris"
