Sue, born and
educated in Huddersfield was a local teacher of Art and Design for many
years before become a freelance artist 8 years ago... She graduated in
2001 with an MA in design at Leeds University. Felting and non woven
fabric construction became a passion in her research. She now teaches
this in her studio and in residencies in schools and colleges throughout
the country. She also creates a range of fashion textiles and
accessories and wall hangings, which she exhibits internationally. Sue’s
experiences as an Expedition Artist working in remote parts of Kenya
proved to be the catalyst that inspired her to work with the medium of
wool in felting. She has close links with the University of Huddersfield
where she processes and finished her works. "TIME IS BEAUTIFUL" WORKSHOPS Sue has experience working with adults and children with special needs.
