Current & Upcoming:
Kunstlerhaus: Featured along with Suza Wooldridge, 4 January - 5 February. 207 E. First St., Hermann, Missouri 65041, 573-486-2303. Our statement: "Our work is clearly about color, texture, & function. We've chosen to work with wool for its great affinity for dyes, ability to insulate, & ease of care. Wooldridge paints fabric, heat-sets the dyes, then pole-wraps & over-dyes the resulting pleats; jacket construction follows. Walker dyes wool fibers, silk & mixed fiber yarns, then hand-felts coordinating accessories." Featurette from Hermann's newspaper
"Artist Statement" feature in upcoming March 2010 issue of ORNAMENT Magazine. Stay tuned!

- Dedicated to hand-felting colorful, highly textured, useful wool felt objects, well crafted and suitable to their purpose and to your delight.
- We use local, other domestic and foreign wool breeds to suit the uses to which they are put.
- Merino and other fine breeds such as Blue-faced Leicester, Cormo, Rambouillet/Merino, Romney/Merino and other fine breed crosses are used for the ground felt, while the lustrous and extravagantly coiled locks of the Wensleydale, Blue-faced Leicester, and Lincoln sheep provide embellishments along with various yarns and open-weave silk or cotton fabric.
- For long-term protection all items have been permanently moth-proofed.
