About me / About business or organisation:
Felting is my passion, my expression, meditation, my relation to the world.

I have been a feltmaker for the past few years, absolutely obsessed with this enchanting world of fibers... I have published a book "Veltinis" ("Felt", 2008) about felting technique in Lithuania (it is the first book in Lithuania covering this textile art).

I work with various kinds of wool and other natural fibers. I always prefer organic, sustainable materials for my felted items.
Raw wool that I use in some of my pieces comes only from small scale shepherds who love and care for their sheep.

I also practise dyeing with plants in eco friendly way. I prefer safe plants and don't use any heavy metal mordants.
When I use synthetic dyes, I also choose only approved ones by OKO TEX standarts.

I enjoy principles of slow fashion and slow art, and I support ethical fashion and design.

My main areas of work are applications of nuno felting techniques, i.e. combining wool and fabric in felt and working with raw fleece.
