Needle felting is a relatively new art form developed in the 1980’s by David and Eleanor Stanwood and Ayala Talpai. They had bought a small industrial Sampling machine for needle punching and discovered they could use individual needles from it to make shapes with wool fibres. The technique has developed from there and is still growing in popularity.
Ushma Sargeant is a felt artist based in Bishopstone, Swindon. She started using wool as a medium in 2015 as an ‘easier to clean up’ alternative to paint. She immediately fell in love with the medium and has developed her knowledge and skills with practice. To see more of Ushma’s work please visit www.fifteen2.co.uk
