Quality, handcrafted felt and textile accessories and artwork

Welcome to

Karen Stewart Textiles

Inspired by the Forms and Textures of Nature

I’m Karen, a feltmaker and textile artist with a passion for colour, form and texture.

Using the ancient art of wet felting, I “paint” with wool – layering wool, silk, and plant fibres, I capture the raw beauty of the British Landscape and translate it into beautiful accessories and artwork for you and your home.

​​My work is an invitation to pause, to touch, and to reconnect with the rugged, delicate beauty of the natural world.

Some kind words

Thank you for a very enjoyable workshop yesterday. We are all thrilled with our seascapes. You were very informative, we learnt a lot about the materials we were using and the techniques were carefully explained & demonstrated.

We had a great day and really enjoyed it I am thrilled with my picture. I went to show it to my son and daughter in law (they gave me the vouchers for Christmas) they were impressed. I’m sure we’ll be coming back for some more sessions. Thank you so much

Thanks so much for the workshop yesterday – I really enjoyed it. I’ve attached my picture – the colours and textures look great! I didn’t know much about felting prior to the workshop, but I really enjoyed the physicality of the processes, the artistry of choosing colour and texture and the magic of putting all the elements together and not really knowing how it was going to turn out until the end! The location was lovely, it was well paced. I’ll definitely recommend the course to my friends.

Karen’s workshop was such an enjoyable day, from her warm welcome to the well planned and fabulously resourced tuition. She is a patient and encouraging tutor drawing on her wealth of experience. A perfect course for learning about wet felting.

I really enjoyed the seascape workshop – a present from my son and daughter. I’ve shown it to a few people and they are very impressed. It’s all down to your excellent tuition!

We really enjoyed the session and the pictures have turned out really well – see the attached! We really fancy the autumn scene picture – I’ll keep an eye out for when you’re running one of those!

Absolutely fabulous day! Karen is a super teacher and very thorough in her tutoring. She has an amazing array of wools to work with and both of us came away with superb pictures that will definitely be framed!

Just to let you know that the Handbag has arrived and I am delighted with it.
Thankyou so much for making it for me.
I will send you a photograph of my outfit with the handbag when we have our Granddaughter’s Wedding

Just a quick note to thank you for the 2 courses I went on this year…. Thoroughly enjoyed them and have been buying bits and pieces ever since.

I really enjoyed the workshop.  Karen explained everything so well and we all achieved so much!  We didn’t expect to come away with such a lovely picture!
