Emily Thompson is a textile artist who specializes in needle felting. Using locally sourced Irish wool, which is washed and dyed using natural materials, Emily meticulously layers the dyed wool to create images of the beautiful Irish landscape. She uses a needle felting tool, and the required technique, which consists of matting the woolen fibers together by repetitively pushing the fibers back and forth using the sharp barbed needle tool. Following this she uses both her sewing machine, and simple needle and thread to add further texture and detail to her works.

She considers her dyed wool her ‘palette’ and felting needles her ‘paintbrush’.  She also offers fine art giclée prints of her original 'wool paintings', offered both framed and unframed at varying sizes. In addition she also offers a variety of homeware products such as; coasters, mugs, and calendars.
