Eszter Baba

Eszter Baba is an award-winning felt artist from Budapest, Hungary. She discovered needle felting in 2015, when maternity leave gave her an opportunity to start a new craft. Eszter started with cartoon character sculptures, and quickly discovered her skill for creating realistic animal sculptures. She has always been a dog-lover, and has gravitated towards dogs as her main focus in her felt sculpture art.

Eszter has always enjoyed various art forms, including drawing and portraiture. In the realm of felting, she is primarily self-taught.

In Hungary, where the art of needle felting is not very well known, Eszter works to share the art and knowledge of needle felting with her community and country. She hosts popular workshops where her students can create their own beloved dog sculptures or other realistic animals.

Her work, under the name Inkarno, has been published, and broadcast on television. You can view more of Eszter’s felt creations on Instagram @Inkarno_Art, on Facebook, or check out her Etsy Shop!
