IFA Felt Swap 2025 results


The IFA (International Feltmakers Association) ‘Felt Swap’ initiative was incredible - 152 members swapping felted artworks across the world. You can check out the video above.


The theme was ‘Inspired by an Artist’ and the work is truly amazing. My piece is 7:27 minutes into the video. I created an original design inspired by the style of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian artist and architect who passed away in 2000. My work (below) was titled ‘The Cat Who Dreamed in Colour’.

Thank you, Annabel Finding (Casimer Creations) for being my swap partner! Her gift to me (below) was inspired by the work of New Zealand artist, Lizzie Pannell.
