Flora Carlile-Kovacs

The award winner of several wearable art shows, Flóra Carlile-Kovács is a professional felt artist born in Szeged, Hungary, now living and working in Seattle, WA. In her work she incorporates two bodies of knowledge; the nomadic traditions and the urban, modern style of feltmaking. Coming from the European tradition of craftsmanship and quality, she is constantly experimenting with ways to improve not only the visual artistic aspect of her work, but also its physical integrity as a functional object appropriate for everyday use. Her enthusiasm spans the miles as she leads two Felt Tours to Hungary each year.
