Sophie Ancel is a French and American fiber artist, who is usually found near a sea or under a tree. She is currently based in the Kensington neighborhood in San Diego, CA.
She started working with wool in 2007, loving the material for its felting and sculpting properties, its warmth and softness, and its tactile effect.
Her felted wool works talk about long journeys, longing for a home, the winds, being together, loneliness, displacement, untouched territories, and the consumption of the Earth's natural resources.
Her felt pieces have been shown in San Diego, USA and in France, and from time to time she teaches interesting folks how to make their own felted wool things at the fantastic San Diego Craft Collective.
