Noelle Ferris
I am a self-taught felt artist, a lover of wool and art, but my journey here has not been very straightforward. For many years I used felt (albeit semi-compressed felt) to deflect pressure from troublesome areas in patients’ feet. However, now I create felt paintings to take a load off people’s minds.
When I discovered felting in 2019, I finally found the creative outlet I had been looking for. As a self-taught felt artist, the versatility of fibres allows me to “play” with a wide variety of materials, including wool, silk, bamboo fibres, Angelina, yarns, nepps and threads. There is unpredictability inherent within the wet felting process, whereas the needle felting process requires control and precision. A very good balance, I think.
In a world where everything is fast…creating felt paintings is anything but! Felt making takes a lot of effort and patience.
