Christine White is the owner of Magpie Designs Felting Studio in Belchertown, Massachusetts. She teaches all levels of feltmaking year-round from her studio and travels nationally to lecture and give workshops for guilds and other groups. Chris has been felting professionally since 2001 and has worked in a variety of techniques with internationally known feltmakers. Founder of the Northeast Feltmakers Guild, she has also written about felt for various publications and served as guest curator for felt shows. She is currently writing a book about feltmaking, due out in 2007.
Because her works are an expression of a given artistic vision rather than technique, Chris works in a variety of felting methods. Her one-of-a-kind works vary in size from intimate color studies to large outdoor sculpture and are bound by the common themes of landscape and emotion. Textural interplay is important in her work and in particular, Chris enjoys creating visual and tactile representations of stone and water.
