Ellie Sarri-Neate uses the ancient craft of felting to create the landscapes and animals near her Yorkshire Dales home. Catherine Scott reports. Pictures by James Hardisty.
Elli Sarri-Neate just loves nature. Having been born and brought up in Greece the Yorkshire countryside near her home in Wensleydale is a far cry from the landscape of the Athens home she left to study in the UK. Now she creates life-like sculptures of the animals she sees on walks with her dogs and landscapes of her adopted Yorkshire countryside – all using felting techniques.
She then painstakingly adds the felted wool and more detail to make her animals as life-like as possible. 'It is a very long process. An animal that is 55cms tall will probably take me in excess of 40 hours,” says Elli. 'I do wonder sometimes if people actually notice all the detail but it is important to me even though it take so much time.” Elli has many animals which she stores in her home studio.
