Hello everyone! I'm Sharon from Sarnia, ON in Canada. I was a medical lab tech for the first half of working life. After being downsized I embraced the world of art. For almost 20 years I painted murals, dis faux finishing, and refinished furniture for a living. I've played with collage, mixed media, rubber stamping, polymer clay, quilting, assemblage, and more that I have forgotten!
Early in the pandemic I discovered needle felting and it kept me sane and happily engaged. I did try a little wet felting without success. I just completed a course with Fiona Duthie and am now entirely hooked! I'm searching for more online classes to explore techniques.
Looking forward to being a part of this group!

Hello, Sharon, and welcome! I took up felting around the same time as you, and I also started with needle felting before going on to wet felting: I am very curious about what got you hooked on felting, and what kind of projects you are pursuing! Please, share some of them with us, if you wish.
