Artist’s Bio

Alice Philips is a fabric artist, working primarily in felt-making. She creates wearable abstract landscape in the form of coats, vests and hats, as well as carpets, hangings, screens, and sculpture.

Alice uses a variety of raw wool which are selected for their felting characteristics, texture and wearability. They are cleaned and hand-dyed to provide a wide palette range. Then they are hand-felted by layering and building up colour and texture to realize the intended design. The muted quality of wool felt is highly evocative of the quality of west coast light.

Alice is a resident of Vancouver, British Columbia, and works and teaches out of her home studio
