About
« I love the felting process, the charm and magic of wool fibers, light and fragile, which intertwine and blend to become compact, strong material »
After having lived abroad for several years, where I had an artistic training in another field, I returned to Switzerland, deepening other expressive techniques up to the textile art, more precisely, felt. I am fascinated by its contrast, its simplicity, from a soft and light material such as carded wool, through the transformation in the processing of the material, using only water, soap and movement, a compact fabric is obtained, without weft or warp.
I learned the various felting techniques, working with felting masters from every country, Norway, Finland, Holland, Russia, Poland, Turkey, and others.
« Unique and original creations modeled with love ready to carry a message, whatever it may be »
Since 2005 I have my atelier, Atelier dell’istrice - felt workshop - textile felt art, in Cagiallo, and in which I make all my creations.
