Hilary Woodgate

Hilary Woodgate was born in Birmingham UK although she was brought up, since being very young, in Devon. Residing now with her family on the southern edges of Dartmoor she revels in the beauty of both the Moor and the sea, come drizzling rain or ...

As a Felt and Textile Artist Hilary has worked over the years in a variety of crafts and started felt-making some 15 years ago. She has honed her skills through studying intensively by attending courses and master classes led by world class tutors through the International Felt Association, of which she is an active member and tutor herself.

Having successfully made, exhibited and sold all manner of felt items from felt-paintings to three-dimensional objects such as felt-hats and bags in the past, Hilary has latterly concentrated on learning how to incorporate both hand-dyed and recycled fine silk fabrics with Merino wool and silk fibres to make Nuno-Felt. Delighting in making more abstract pictures, bespoke textured garments, bags and wraps and revelling in the seemingly endless potential for manipulating felt in both colour and texture to form new shapes and patterns, Hilary is always looking to push the boundaries of felt further.
