Polly Blakney Stirling

Polly is a felt textile designer known for her contemporary approach to feltmaking and her wearable felt art. Her past experiences as an interior designer in Boston, Designer Mannequin in London and a leather worker and weaver in Australia have all contributed to her creative development. In 1994 she developed a technique for making lightweight felt appropriate for the subtropics of Australia. The term "Nuno" felt was coined by Polly and her assistant to describe the technique of joining wool fi- ber into a base weave to make a light and drapable felted fabric. She has shared her innovative approach through workshops in Europe, New Zealand, Japan and the USA, where she now resides.
