FELT SO RIGHT: Fiber Art by Dawn Edwards

About the Artist

Dawn Edwards has studied feltmaking with several renowned fiber artists and feltmakers from around the world, who she considers to be both her mentors and friends, and just plain fun to be around!


Dawn's love of color, texture, functionality, and beauty in everyday life, have led to artistic expression through endeavors such as stained glass and pottery, and finally to a medium where she is able to incorporate many of those techniques into her feltmaking. You may see some of the wonderful textural and sculptural images found in pottery, or the beautiful color ways noted in stained glass. 



Dawn will have several of her felt creations featured in the upcoming book, 1000 Artisan Textiles: Contemporary Fiber Art, Quilts, and Wearables by Sandra Salamony and Gina M. Brown (publication date: May 2010). 1000 Artisan Textiles may be found at your local bookstore, Amazon.com or Quarrybooks.com. 



Dawn will also be featured in the upcoming book Here and Now: Emerging Artists in Michigan by Angie Mausolf  (release date to be announced), which will also be available at Amazon.com.



 





Dawn "fulling", which is another term for finishing of the felt piece,
 in this instance through intensive rolling.
