Felt - endless possibilities

Andrea Graham is an artist and educator residing in rural Ontario, Canada. Using both traditional nomadic and modern feltmaking techniques, wool fibre is magically transformed. Felted wool is traditionally created with wool fibre, soap and water. Alternately, a single barbed needle borrowed from industrial felting machines can be used as a sculpting tool, entangling the scales on the wool fibres creating feld fibre. These techniques together allow for endless possibilities.
