Kristen Walsh
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. Kristen has been earning attention for her felting, winning prizes at many shows and has had work selected for several publications as well as exhibits across the country. Kristen loves to teach. She teaches out of her studio, at art centers and galleries, fiber shops, festivals (including the New York Sheep & Wool and MD Sheep & Wool festivals) and in schools. She also gives lectures about the origins of felting with the hopes of getting more people ‘hooked” on felting. Kristen sees no end to the possibilities with felting. She wants to continue exploring felting through continued teaching as well as creating her own felted art.
