Shirley Ascher studied Art and Design at St. Albans School of Art. Jane Bateman's background is in journalism, and she spent a number of years designing handmade cards for her local tourist information office and the National Trust. They first started making felt together in 2001 after being inspired by a visit to the Chelsea Crafts Fair in London. Feltmaking soon became their passion, and a year later they were invited to display their work at a flower and craft festival in St. Albans Cathedral. Since then, they have written a number of articles for leading craft magazines and give regular feltmaking demonstrations throughout the UK.

No. 74Felting is once again growing in popularity and fits in with the trend towards natural fibres and ethnic designs.

All the instructions are in step-by-step format with clear photography accompanying the text and templates are included where needed. Pick up this book and you will soon be felting like an expert!
