Meet your teacher

Hi, I’m Svetlana Lilley

Welcome to my world of wool and silk, right here in Neath, South Wales. I’m a felting artist and passionate educator dedicated to keeping this ancient craft alive.

I specialise in nuno felting, the delicate technique of fusing fabric and wool to create wearable art and intricate textiles, and I love working with locally sourced Welsh wool.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll find an inspiring, welcoming place to master the rewarding art of transforming raw wool.

Come and create something beautiful with me!
