MEET FELTMAKER, TEACHER & CREATIVE COMPANION
LENA ARCHBOLD
Lena Archbold is a feltmaker, textile artist, and teacher who creates one-of-a-kind wearable art using wool, silk, and natural fibres. Born in Ukraine and now based in the North East of England, Lena discovered feltmaking in 2011, where it became both a creative passion and an important part of her recovery after cancer. Inspired by nature, architecture, and colour, she loves “painting with wool” and is especially known for her work with nuno felt, rich textures, and hand-dyed fibres.
Lena has been teaching feltmaking since 2012 and has been teaching online since 2018 through her school Felt With Lena. In November 2022, she launched the Felt With Lena Membership, bringing together a global community of makers to learn new techniques, build confidence, and enjoy feltmaking in a supportive, encouraging environment designed for different levels of experience.
