Maker's bio

Hi, my name is Amanda and I have been felting for six years now following on from a 20 year career as a teacher. I love teaching workshops and seeing the pleasure on people's faces as they manage to create amazing things from wool, even when they have never picked up a felting needle before. Needle felting is such a rewarding and therapeutic craft and I love starting people off on their felting journey, and helping people who have felted before grow in the craft.
