PHILIPPA WHITENEEDLE FELTING

BIO
Pip White was born and brought up in Salisbury. Her love of art and crafts have been an enduring aspect of her life from an early age when she was first taught to paint and draw by her grandfather.
It has only been recently her discovery of needle felting has allowed her to explore her talent in a very unique way. Her use of fibre forms an illusion of water colour or pastels and allows her to create landscapes and coastal scenes mainly from the south-west of England.
The works are lovingly made mainly from Merino fleece, which is a particularly fine wool fibre, but also from more exotic fibres such as yak and silk as well as man-made natural fibres such as Tencel. The scenes are created from photographs of well-known landscapes and coastal views.
Pip undertakes commissions and you can contact her direct for details but all work is the same price as on the web site and is on an ‘approval’ basis.
Pip runs workshops for those who would like to learn the skill of felting. Visit her Workshop page for details.
ARTWORK
Needle felting is the attachment of wool or other fibres either to either itself to form a dense fabric or shape or in this case to a backing felt to produce a picture. It is painting with wool which not only replicates paint but gives a three dimensional quality to the work.
