Debra Lacy has been a fiber artist for over 20 years. She started as a self taught knitter, then progressed to other techniques such as spinning and weaving before finding her creative DNA in felting. She has been creating the felted critters you see here since 2004.

Debra has a Fine Arts Degree in Textiles from Western Washington University and teaches felting and knitting techniques at Northwest Handspun Yarns in Bellingham, Washington.

Debra has also designed a series of Artfelt projects for Skacel Collections, Inc.

In addition to creating her own work, she has been involved as a Studio Assistant to artist, Sheila Klein, hand weaving, crocheting and knitting large pieces for exhibitions and shows.

Debra currently divides her time between Smokey Point and Ballard, Washington with 9 cats, one dog and one fella.
