About me

My name is Tess Walsh and I am a craft maker, allotment keeper and cook living in North London, UK.

Ah the smell of clean wool

I have been making felt since 2010 and I find it an endlessly fascinating material. I also attend a regular embroidery group, and have recently tried my hand at rag rug making, Japanese woodcuts and book making.

Finally I love sheep…. here I am dressed as one playing Isobel Bridie in the Tower Theatre’s production of ‘An Experiment with an Airpump’ (I also painted the costumes). Although as my character pointed out ‘Sheep don’t have ears like this’!
