Meet the Maker

Megan Arundel

Nanaimo,  BC 

I am a felt artist, using the process of wet felting to create art in functional items that highlight the textures and colours of nature. This process of making the world's oldest form of fabric, while labour intensive, is both meditative and joyful for me as I explore its possibilities and limits in two and three dimensions. My primary focus is on household items such as bowls and baskets, table mats, vases, lightshades, and "rock" cushions. With purses, totes and pouches, art is carried outside of the home.

I am also drawn to creating more form and less function in sculptural works. I teach beginning felting through Nanaimo Ceramic Arts.
