“People have said that I am a patient teacher when showing the multiple ways working with wool. I love to see someone who has never felted before and finish a project. The glow on their face makes it so worthwhile. There are so many ways to create beautiful Fiber-art from wool, silk, soap and water. I also love to find found objects and cover them in the wool or use them to sculpt.“
Deb Koesters loves the spontaneity, suspense, and surprise of felting and dyeing .” You never know exactly what you’re going to get.”
