About Angela
“My textile life began early, Gran lived next door but one and taught me to knit, crochet, embroider and make rag rugs. I have kept those skills, added to them and have been a fibre artist for over 20 years. I’m now a feltmaker, spinner and weaver working primarily in British wools which I now sell through our family business, Adelaide Walker. I love to teach, helping others to discover heritage crafts and the joy that they bring.”
