Welcome to Felt Fantastic!

LATEST NEWS: 

I AM NOW RUNNING WORKSHOPS IN MY STUDIO. IF YOU WANT TO COME ALONG AND HAVE A GO AT NEEDLE FELTING, PLEASE CONTACT ME TO BOOK A PLACE . For more details click here.

Here you will find a selection of fantastic felt sculptures made by hand from sheep's fleece that has been washed, carded and dyed.  These have all been created by me - Clare Ballard in my studio in the West of Ireland. 

Enjoy beautiful views of the Nephin mountain and Loch Conn in the picturesque County Mayo in the West of Ireland while you learn a new craft.

I have made commissioned pieces for specific customers and am always making my regular designs for Craft fairs and those galleries and shops that I supply. Each item is exclusive and individual.  There is a collection of characters and creatures that keep me company in my studio and await new homes!                                                                  

Feel Free to come in and browse the site and find some woolly friends that will make you smile!

I have been working on new designs, characters and creatures. Here are some of the miniature dogs that I have recently created.  They are sculpted around a wire frame. The larger one here was finished using alpaca wool to give him a really hairy coat!

Please note that these sculptures are not toys and are not suitable for young children. They are sculptures that should be handled with care and treated gently.
