Beginnings..
From an early age, I worked with textiles and fabrics. I discovered felt
when I was shopping for a weaving loom and saw somebody demonstrating how to
make felt.
Felt...
Is colourful, has a character of its own,
is comfortable and renders a personal touch to your clothing. Working
with wool and felt is a process akin to meditating - as I already had
discovered when spinning wool.
Making felt and designing...
became an ever bigger part of my life through the years.
By attending workshops, as well as by experimenting, I developed my own
signature in my designs.
Eventually..
I chose being a full-time felt designer. I work from my own atelier, am
present at exhibitions all through Europe, and give workshops and master
classes.
I design...
a fashion line, theatrical clothing, and bridal clothing.
Designs can be made to fit.
Together with Claudio Varone, we make wall and floor tapestries.
My inspiration...
stems in part from the material itself
-wool.
Other sources of inspiration are nature, rocks, our surroundings, the
garden...and everything else around me.
