susie sue cox - felt artist

Oriel Q`s Artist of the month is felt maker Susie Sue Cox, introducing us to images and objects woven with wool, sometimes augmented by silk and merino. Her love of wool has enabled her to achieve a depth and intensity and even a sense of movement as she literally paints with the colour and texture of the fibres. Her enthusiasm for her material is the starting point for her iridescent surfaces, whether on small objects or larger, more ambitious, images.

Suesie Sue says “ My journey starts with my passion for wool yarns. The colours and textures bring me pure joy. I was introduced to felting and was blown away with all the different techniques. I learned how to print pictures with wool and complimentary fibres such as silk and merino wool. Creating felt art with texture and depth of colour, This brings me comfort and a positive emotion for well being. I’m inspired every day living in Pembrokeshire and especially being near the sea.
