About Me

Originally from California, Troy Lacey has worked in fiber art since learning to knit and crochet at an early age. She attended the Waldorf School, a school created by Rudolf Steiner that places human development and art at the center of its curriculum and specializes in enabling students to choose their individual path through life. Lacey uses the process of wet felting to make her original designs and one-of-a-kind pieces. Wet felting takes advantage of the tiny fibers in wool yarns and fabrics and the lubrication usually provided by friction and soapy water to create varied textures of cloth.“ I love natural fibers,” Lacey said. “Not only does Lacey make felts but she also uses creative techniques such as needle felting, spinning, dyeing her spun wool or crocheting or knitting to create her unique designs. “I always feel at peace when I create my artwork. I can enjoy the moment,” she said. “My goal is to live in balance and harmony.”
