Books by Fi Oberon

Fi Oberon has 30 years' experience as a designer-maker, artist and tutor. At the age of 18 she sold her first knitting pattern to a Fleet Street newspaper. She has ghostwritten the DIY column for the Daily Mail and written soft furnishings instructions for magazines. She has developed and led courses on a diverse range of crafts, from furniture-painting to tile-making, from her own studio and on behalf of other organizations. In 2005, Fi sold her successful craft centre to move to the seaside, where she opened a small seasonal art and craft gallery, selling a ceramics range to wholesale customers throughout the UK. Her felting and fine artwork is displayed at galleries in the Midlands and the north of England, including the prestigious Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax. She recently launched a range of felting kits (Alula's Garden) at the Knitting and Stitching Show, at Craft Hobby Stitch and at the Country Living Christmas Fair; she is also creating a range of greetings cards featuring her felted animals. Fi has been inundated with orders from retailers and wholesalers and requests from magazines looking for expert content. This is her first book.
