In this issue of flzfun, we present portraits of the following felt artists: Artist Susanne Weber, who uses unique mixing techniques and makes her felt pictures look almost like watercolor paintings. Dutch artist Lisette Smulders de Groote, on the other hand, focuses on bright colors, roses and dots. Felt artist Christian König's trademark is funny felt figures with original names. You can also find out how British artist Natasha Smart creates her three-dimensional, sculptural felt projects.

The days are getting shorter and the evenings longer - the ideal time to get creative. In this issue of filzfun, our portraits once again offer plenty of inspiration: Whether it's French artist Sandrine Pialat, who creates garments with interesting surface textures and sculptural decorative items with motifs from the underwater world in her Parisian studio, German artist Jutta Schwab, who is close to nature through and through and creates magical natural creatures, felt designer Katrin Bigl, who also likes to use her felt projects to train young people in care professions, or Silvia Josten, who specializes in precious embroidery on wool felt. → more

»What you want to ignite in others must burn in you«, the famous saying by Augustine Aurelius has lost none of its validity even after almost 2,000 years. Our felt artists in this summer issue are prime examples of this, because without their great enthusiasm for the subject of felt, all the diverse works of art, exhibitions, projects, instructions and courses would never be created. This is also shown by our portraits in this issue: the internationally renowned artist Bodo Korsig creates monumental installations from felt and aims to inspire people to reflect. → more

"If you can dream it, you can do it - if you can dream it, you can do it", said filmmaker Walt Disney and creator of Mickey Mouse. Our felt artists portrayed here also take this famous saying to heart. Norton Fredericks, who lives in Australia, creates large-format tapestries and uses the plant dyes of his homeland, such as eucalyptus and quandong, to dye his wool. Anitarini Bauer, who comes from India, creates vessels, room dividers, Buddhas and light fixtures. → more

The exciting felt and textile projects we present in this issue show how a shared passion can be turned into something great: from a golden butterfly world to a networked felt installation.
