Felted yarns comes from my wish to tell stories through my pictures. Felting is the process of making a fabric from fibres. I have combined two of my loves into one place – fibres and stories in all their glorious forms.
Hi I'm Katy Small. Welcome to Website. I make wet felted artwork and clothing accessories.
Feel free to check out all my pages. Thank you for visiting.
The dictionary definition for the word ‘yarn’ - thick thread made of cotton or wool, which is used to knit things or a story of adventures, travels etc, usually made more exciting and interesting by adding things that never really happened.
I loved the idea that I could combine both meanings into my work.
Felting is the process of making a fabric through wetting, agitating and rolling fibres. I hope I have combined two of my loves into one place – fibres and stories in all their glorious forms.
I am a member of the Walton Group of Artists and Artists Around Wetherby. I have been able to exhibit with both groups locally. This is a relatively new venture, where I hope to develop my painting skills and experiment even further with mixed media.
I work in my lovely ‘seaside blue’ potting shed. I use Merino wool tops to blend gorgeous colours of fibres together to create a landscape or background. Then I come into the warmth of the house to machine embroider or hand embroider the details on the pictures.
Colour and texture are integral. The colours in our landscapes are ever changing and beautiful at any time of the year. The textures of fibres, yarns and other textile materials are incorporated. Each piece is experimental.
You can discover my original felted paintings here, a range of cards and prints here, and enjoy a virtual tour of my studio here.
