ABOUT YOUR TUTOR PHILLIPA ROOKE
Phillipa Rooke is a feltmaker from Brisbane, whose primary focus is on hand-dyeing fine fabrics, wool and silk fibre, and threads for the making of nuno, or lightweight, felt often used for garments.
Phillipa has been teaching feltmaking for the past 20 years.
Phillipa first started felting in 1982. Since then she has taught and exhibited extensively, and been instrumental in setting up two felting groups. Phillipa teaches classes for Flying Arts, high schools, TAFTA Forums, small studio groups, and private classes at home and away.
Her current practice reflects her passion for fine felts with fabrics and includes an exploration of the appropriate use of coarser wool breeds.
