Marjolein Dallinga

Marjolein Dallinga was born in the Netherlands where she studied Fine Arts. She moved to Montréal, Canada 20 years ago where she pursued her art career through making art books and jewellery. While raising a family, her creativity led her to toy making and teaching art courses to children and adults. This is how she discovered felting and now works fulltime in this medium.

The world renowned CIRQUE DU SOLEIL became interested in her work and for the last three years she has been experimenting with felt for their costume design while also creating final products for their shows.

She now has her own company, Bloomfelt.com, working from her studio with sewing and dyeing rooms. She has taught felting for 12 years.
