The filzfun autumn issue celebrates the magic of connection – with inspiring artist portraits, creative tutorials, and fascinating insights into the felting community. Discover the work of Ariane Mariane, Jill Harrison, Ellen Bakker, and Margot van Leeuwen, explore felt art combined with coaching, digital design, and textile poetry. Creative projects such as a rainbow fairy, a playful hand puppet, and the technique of book stencils invite you to try them out yourself. In addition, you’ll find reports on markets, gatherings, and the newly opened Felt House at Werenziahof. An autumn issue full of ideas, stories, and inspiration for your own creations.

There's lots of colorful things to discover in our spring issue. Felt artist Marjolein Dallinga from Canada, for example, has made it to the stages of Cirque du Soleil with her colorful and imaginative costumes. Artist Heike Reul also has a passion for combining art and fashion. She makes unique dresses and likes to present them in fashion shows. Tone-Kristin Lone, on the other hand, is inspired by the magical landscapes of her Norwegian homeland and creates her wool paintings in the most beautiful natural tones.

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.
