Wool is a natural\, sustainable and versatile material that can be transformed into wonderful\, tactile objects. The different characteristics of the wide variety of sheep breeds offer endless possibilities to create both functional and nonfunctional pieces. she enjoys the challenge of transforming a flat material into a three dimensional form. \n\n\n\nMandy is involved in many craft groups and associations and is a regional co-ordinator and past Chair of the International Feltmakers Association. She is also a member of the Makers Guild in Wales\, the Association of Contemporary Jewellery\, the Society of Designer Craftsmen and of MaP\, a textile group.
