Hi, I’m Mo (friends call me Momo)
I was born in Darlington, Co Durham, UK. My mother taught me to sew, my grandmother taught me to knit and crochet and my father taught me the joy that creating things with your own hands can bring.
After leaving Brighton Art College I became a graphic designer/ illustrator. After 25 years in the business, I felt it was time to leave the computer behind and get back to a more hands on approach to my creativity that I've always loved.
Some time ago I inherited a large bag of merino wool fibres. Not one to waste time, I set about teaching myself the art of felt making. The feel of it and the way the colours blend together reminds me of painting with watercolors. It can be tricky and unpredictable, but exciting and fascinating too. My art and creations are always full of colour and texture because that’s what excites and inspires me the most.
I now teach felt making to others, passing on my skill and techniques so they too can experience the joy of working with this wonderful material. (see Workshops & Events page)
