Bio:
Emily Thompson is a textile artist who specializes in needle felting. Using locally sourced Irish wool, Emily meticulously layers the dyed wool to create images of the beautiful Irish landscape. She then uses a needle felting tool, and the required felting technique. Following this she uses both her sewing machine, and simple needle and thread to add further texture and detail to her works. She considers her dyed wool her ‘palette’ and felting needles her ‘paintbrush’.
