Welcome to my new website!
(previously FfolkyFfelt)

I live in the Brecon Beacons/Bannau Brycheiniog with my husband, and various rescue animals.

I am mum to three daughters, and an artist, curator and tutor.
My family have a long history in artistic and healing traditions, and I am very happy to be continuing this through my work as an artist and facilitator - it gives me so much pleasure, and heaps of fun too!
Creativity has ebbed and flowed throughout my life, where previously circumstances had distanced it from me. I re-engaged with my creative practice following the escape from a DV situation, and a life-threatening cancer diagnosis, back in 2011.
I feel so lucky to be able to work daily with my creative practice, and my other projects, which you can read more about here.

The wool I use is sourced locally, or from ethical smallholders and suppliers in Britain. Using local wool creates a link between myself and the landscape, giving provenance to the fleece used.
I work with a variety of clays, and hope to further my training with texture and layers.

All my work is created in my studio at home, where I make a variety of pieces for galleries, projects and commissions.
My work is influenced by cycles, seasons and stories, as well as the Welsh mountains surorunding me, and the ancient stories that dwell within them!

As a qualified tutor and artist, I love to teach as well as create, and run many workshops across Wales, and parts of the UK. You can visit the Workshops page to find out more.

I am (2023/4) currently undertaking an MA in Contempory Crafts at Hereford College of Arts, which is thoroughly thought provoking and enormously rewarding.

I am currently using Etsy (under the previous name) for a place for you to look at and purchase gfts and kits, for example, and you can access it by clicking here: Etsy
