Lauren Loran

I have always been a “maker”. I am retired from a career in graphic arts where I used a computer every day. I am now free to get back to creating with my hands.

I discovered needle felting the winter of 2018 after my daughter gave me a kit as a gift—and I have been going strong ever since. I started very small, and began making likenesses of dogs that I know, and have moved to making animals of all kinds.

Building a sculpture in wool is a slow, but very satisfying process. I am happy to share my work online and in a few craft shows per year.
