Susan Tornheim

I am a surface designer and felt maker, producing felted-wool accessories and other items. I employ the ancient felting technique of using soap, hot water, friction, and pressure to cause wool fibers to entangle randomly into a strong fabric. I especially enjoy combining felting and knitting. My current explorations include depicting nature in my work and adding embroidery.

I have been creating mixed-media pieces for several years. These sculptural works often include textile elements, like felted wool, as well as wood, wire, and natural components.
