About Emerald Hill Textiles

Thank you for visiting Emerald Hill Textiles and welcome to the site. The works which can be viewed here were designed and created with care by Laura Ricks, a Lafayette, Indiana artist. The main body of her work and true creative passion lies in wool and wet felting. She loves to add needle felted and sewn details to many of her pieces, which gives them an extra level of definition, depth and drama. She loves creating natural scenes and landscapes inspired by her rural Indiana surroundings and occasionally by her travels. She shares her techniques with online classes available at feltingtutorials.com.
