This is complimented with a burgeoning collection of sculptural pieces inspired by the characteristics of British fleece. Claire specialises in a variety of natural materials and fibres.
Awards from the Arts Council of Wales, have contributed to the development of her creative practice and research into fleece from underused breeds of native sheep. She is a partner of Campaign for Wool and a member of MaP Textile Group. Claire has exhibited both nationally and internationally in Ireland, Shetland Isles and Jersey. Claire is also available for teaching workshops in felt making, eco print and sustainable natural dyes.
