Kristen Walsh has been involved in creative things her whole life. She has been exploring fiber for many years – first knitting, then spinning and finally felting.

Early fascination with fabric and fashion came from my seamstress mother. You might say fiber art is bound into my DNA. My felting journey began with a study of skin. Skin as a protective covering, and as identifier, and how it can record history. A study of animal skin, and human skin; leading to hybrids. All the while, intrigued with the way wearable art transforms its wearer.

Tasha grew up in a family of makers and tinkerers and has been drawn to textiles of all kinds since she was very small.

In her classes, she works to build deep understanding through hands-on experimentation in a warm and inspiring environment.
