I have an established background in designing and making textiles, working primarily with wool. With a passion for colour, I work with machine knitted and felted wearables and soft furnishings, which I applique, embellish or stitch.
I have become fascinated by hand felting for the freedom of colour mixing, mark making and sculptural possibilities it offers, which I find very exciting .

"Everything about the creative felting day with Chris was wonderful. A perfect treat to myself! Thoroughly recommend anyone who is interested in exploring different ways to explore colour and felt making techniques in a relaxed and fun atmosphere with guidance from a felting guru! Chris is a fabulous teacher with tons of experience willing to share her expertise in a fun and easy way. Lots of laughter, delicious food and tasty homemade treats. I came away from the day not only with an amazing new bespoke hat but feeling fully totally nourished personally and creatively inside and out! Thank you Chris for hosting a wonderful workshop. If you are thinking about booking yourself onto a making day-do not hesitate- a wonderful experience awaits you!"
"Great day with excellent tutor who clearly explained the wet felting process.
I'm very happy with my bag.
Lovey lunch provided by her husband who had grown all the salads. "
"Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your lovely review. I hope you you got home safely, and manage to complete the finishing touches on your bag.
I had a lovely day with you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Kind regards,
Chris"
"First I would like to say I learnt so much. It was hard to see how a few strands of wool would several hours later be a really stylish one off hat that fitted. Christine, skill, knowledge, patience made the whole experience a joy and something I will treasure. Thank you "
"We had a lovely day and came away with 3 magnificent and unique hats. Christine (and her partner and dog) were all very welcoming. Beautiful views from the house too
Christine explained everything clearly and there was plenty of materials and equipment to complete the task.
Highly recommended."
"Thank you Ali,
It was a pleasure to teach you, and
I hope you're enjoying your new hats!"
