Joyce Hazlerig
Joyce has been creating art all her life. Felting wool is her current passion. There’s something about wool and fiber; and shaping it to create something new and different. She loves making whimsical creatures or magical characters.
Joyce is inspired by myth, fairy tales, history and nature. She has embraced felting as a way to highlight colors, and show off the wonderful textures of wool. Her creations all have their own voice. It is wonderful to see them taking shape, morphing, changing, and coming to life. She hopes people fall in love with her work, just as she falls in love creating them.
Joyce began this journey 8 years ago; her desire is to see how far down the rabbit hole she will go. Wool is universal and ancient, it’s old and new, its organic and surpasses cultural barriers. The wider world of fiber is ever expanding.
