Suzy Shackleton

Living and working from her studio in the hills of the Peak District, award winning felt artist, Suzy Shackleton creates vibrant contemporary wall hangings using traditional felt making techniques. Each piece is hand rolled and wet felted using inlays, pre-felts and mosaics. The beautiful merino wool is her palette and she layers the fibres to gradually build up depth and tone. Increasingly Suzy combines traditional practice with more modern methods such as photoshop design and needle sketching. She loves exciting textures, bold designs and quirky compositions but most of all she is inspired by colour. In addition to showing at the Art Fair Suzy sells her work in galleries around the country at exhibitions and through her web site. Her studio is also open to visitors by appointment.
