Felting is one of the oldest textile processing methods in the world. Yet, the idea of using wool to 'paint' pictures is still almost unknown in the DACH region.

This fascinating alternative to traditional painting results in artworks with exceptional depth and texture.

By combining ancient craftsmanship with modern, ecological principles, felt art forms a bridge between the past and the future, undoubtedly earning its place in the art spectrum of today.

Yes, that's it!

But one wool fibre isn't like another.
