"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.

Brightly-colored felted images, enchanting bracelets or stylish vessels – within this product range, felt artists like to combine feltmaking with decorative embroidery. The interdisciplinary artist Elena Kuki, for instance, uses hand and machine embroidery mainly as an ornament in accessories or clothing.

Meditative, relaxing, balancing – those who love to felt know about the positive effects of felt making. In the spring issue we portray the Canadian felter Mark Bevan. The craft helped him through a difficult phase of his life. The artist Constanze Habringer-Krög talks about how she final-ly found her personal style. Charity van der Meer-Musoma, born in Zambia, presents a veritable feast of technical techniques with her wearable art. The artist Maria Friese was invited to show her dreamlike costume at the “World of Wearable Art Show” 2022 in New Zealand.
