FI OBERON has 30 years of experience as a designer-maker, artist and tutor and is a Grant for the Arts award winner. At the age of 18 she sold her first knitting pattern to a Fleet Street newspaper. She has written craft pieces for various magazines, and her work has been featured in Country Homes and Antiques , Country Living , Ideal Homes and Cotswolds Life . She has developed and led courses on a diverse range of crafts, from furniture-painting to tile-making, both based in her own studio and on behalf of other organisations. In 2005, Fi sold her successful craft centre to move to the seaside, where she opened a small seasonal art and craft gallery, selling a ceramics range to wholesale customers throughout the UK. Her felting and fine artwork is displayed at galleries in the Midlands and the north of England, including the prestigious Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax. A lifelong advocate of the environment (she has set up two farmers markets) Fi is now working on projects felted from her own hand-dyed pre-felt, using organically sourced wool. This is her first book. See less
