Justine Heinrichs is a musician, teacher and felt artist. She began her felting journey in January 2017 with a tiny owl Woolpet kit and a passion was born. Justine won Best in Show with her wet and needle felted hawk portrait at Sheep and Wool in 2019. She is one of the first Sarafina Certified Felting Instructors in 2021.
Justine says, "I love the organic, yet magical, nature of wool and the endless ways it can be manipulated. You can create lifelike creatures to the fantastic. The sky's the limit. I love sharing my passion in workshops. Felting is such a joy. I want to empower others to enjoy it too."
