Debbie Lucas’s interest in textiles began when she would beg scraps of material from her grandmother to make dolls clothes.
Debbie was introduced to feltmaking about 8 years ago when she was working for her city & guilds part ll in patchwork and quilting.
Felt has a hidden magic by taking fleece wetting it and rolling it a new and interesting fabric is made often with surprising results.
All her pieces are hand rolled using mainly merino wool. she hand dyes the fleece, this gives a rich pallet of colour to work with.
The inspiration for Debbie’s work comes from the ever changing Cumbrian landscape, her pictures are made by building up layers of fleece which I card well to create a variety of colours and shades. She often cuts back through the layers of felt to reveal hidden colours beneath, giving her work a 3 dimensional effect.
