​The Mousehole Woolery is nestled in the heart of the Dorset countryside and is the home and studio of fibre artist Carla Taylor, who creates contemporary sustainable wool sculptures inspired by the wildlife and conservation of the British countryside and coastline bringing a little piece of nature to your home.

Each sculpture is hand crafted using the technique of needle felting where special barbed needles are used to repeatedly stab and sculpt wool fibres together to form a solid mass.  Each sculpture is created with many layers of wool and can therefore take many hours to complete, transforming fleece in to a sculptural work of art!

Carla is passionate about teaching you all about the origins of needlefelting, the wool used, and how to develop your relationship with the materials. She runs a number of workshops throughout the year where you can create your own little piece of nature. Visit the workshops page for more information and to book. Carla also offers one to one teaching as well as private group workshops at a venue of your choice, so please do get in touch. 

As an official supporter of the Campaign for Wool, Carla likes to work closely with local Dorset farmers promoting the use of local and British wool and will often refer to conservation awareness within her sculptures as well as incorporating vintage pieces in to her work, reflecting her lifetime passion for collecting antiques, recycling and the history of each piece.
