Carmen Laferrière is a fibre artist who loves to ignite and inspire other to her passion of felt making. She uses Merino wool, silk and natural fibres. She finds her inspiration in poetry, patterns and colours in nature and people she meets. Carmen teaches all ages. Her goal as a visual artist is to bring out the student's creativity and to enable their artistic voices to flow freely. Carmen has her studio in Vernon in the beautiful Okanagan.
