Fine art made by stabbing ethically sourced wool thousands of times

I specialize in two-dimensional needle felting: I create detailed fiber art by stabbing wool hundreds (or thousands!) of times until it becomes a work of art, and I’d love to teach you how to, too!

Want to learn to needle felt?

Felting is a beginner friendly medium that is easy to pick up, forgiving, and endlessly satisfying. Learn to felt with one of our step-by-step kits, or if you’re in New England, check out our in-person workshop schedule!

Interested in commissioning a custom portrait?

You’ve come to the right place! I specialize in animal portraiture, and pets are one of my favorite subjects! Whether you are looking to get a piece of your favorite furry or feathered friend or looking for a specific exotic animal to tie a room together, I can help!

Who am I?

I’m Emma, the artist behind Leaf Pile Studios. I learned how to knit when I was 7, and I have been fascinated with fiber art ever since. My love of knitting quickly turned into a love of embroidery, which was my medium of choice until I discovered two dimensional needle felting.
