@feltorium



I’m an artist based in Margate creating felt creatures as studies of preserved curiosities. Inspired by the 80s pop-culture and a trip to surgeons’ hall museum, my work blends collectible, specimen and toy elements into forms of grotesque-cute fabrications.

Each piece is carefully shaped using natural fibres alongside precious stones, sterling silver, gold, moissanite diamonds and other materials such as glass, swarovski and wood. I use these elements not simply as decoration, but to give each creature its own identity, turning soft forms into treasured specimens.
