Welcome to the Silversoles website!
Silversoles is a range of contemporary felted textiles for the home and to wear. Each piece is unique, having been hand crafted using traditional wet rolling and Nuno felting techniques, to create distinctive textiles. Using a range of luxury natural fibres, including merino wool, silks and native breed wools, the felts have a tactile quality that is hard to resist!
Silversoles designs combine colour, pattern and texture, often embellished with embroidery, appliqué and beading to create a sensory feast!
Silversoles is the design label of textile designer/maker Emma Jackson who specialises in felt making.
Emma will be showing at the New Fibre East event giving 'Fabulous Felted Corsages' workshops each day.
To book go to www.fibre-east.co.uk.
It looks to be a great new fibre event to add to the calendar!
