Chelsea Brown
Chelsea Brown (she/her) is a fiber artist and teacher based out of Massachusetts. She started felting in 2016 and hasn't put down the felting needle since! Fiber started as her hobby, became her passion, and is now present in every aspect of her life. Entirely self-taught, Chelsea has exhibited her wool sculptures in art galleries and runs her own small business, Kekii Crafts, where she sells her unique needle felted pieces and wet felted wearable art. Her artwork often draws inspiration from anime and games, pop culture, animals, and all things cute and squishy. She also takes commissions and enjoys bringing these unique visions to life!
Chelsea's greatest love is teaching, which gives her the opportunity to share her wool obsession with the world. In addition to a variety of felting workshops, she has taught over 400 painting classes and now works part-time teaching sewing and fiber arts to children.
Chelsea's larger sculptures often reference the natural world and all of the amazing creatures in it. It can take two to three months to create ONE needle felted sculpture! Through this labor of love, she hopes to continue to help conservation efforts around the world. Portions of the proceeds from her works are regularly donated to organizations that help endangered animals. She also never forgets to thank the most wonderful animal of them all: The sheep!
