The needle felting process starts with a small barbed needle and wool roving . When stabbing through the wool the scales of the needle catch on the fibre entwining them together. Through time and diligent work the fibres are bonded together into the delightful designs you see. Elowen grew up immersed in the arts. She dabbled in many areas of fine arts as a child and while attending university training to be a classical singer. Elowen found her interest in felting by receiving a felting kit as a Christmas gift from her husband. From there the interest has blossomed and the wool has taken over! Elowen believes in helping create artistic opportunities for local artists and helping them connect with the community. She is a founding member and Chair of Winnipeg Fine Art Fair, which has it premier event April 12 + 13 2024. Based in Winnipeg Manitoba (& Belair Manitoba) Find me next at:
