Ethos
Artists
We are both artists and feltmakers, and keen to develop new ways of using felted wool.
The Arts Council gave us some initial funding to do the research and development on this project.
We then received support from Dartmoor Sustainable Development Fund, GLASU - adding value to local products, & Bath Spa University.
