Jean Hicks Felting Artist

July 20, 2008 by Linda Lanese

Jean Hicks has taken felting to new levels.  She does felt sculpture and uniquely fanciful hats.  Her hats would liven up and invite comments at any event one worn them too.  What an amazing felting artist

Artist Jean Hicks developed her unique perspective over two decades of experience, work and travel. She holds degrees in history, Spanish and education.  As a maker, she studied classical millinery under Wayne Wichern. But her sculptural perspective on felt has also been influenced by work in ceramics, especially her studies at the Escuela de Artes y Applicadas de Deseños in Vittoria-Gasteiz, Spain.

Developing her own distinctive style of hand-blocked felt has lead Jean Hicks not only to found Erratica Handmade Felt but also to solo shows, theatrical collaborations and interior design.
