Svetlana Vronskaja
Svetlana Vronskaya is from Tallinn, Estonia. She studied textile design at the Estonian Academy of Arts, and her life is still connected with her alma mater.
Svetlana's way to felting began in the Academy, during a workshop, which seemed too "crafty" to her at that time. Svetlana tried some different directions in applied arts, in particular she worked a lot with leather. Surprisingly, she came back to felting. She started completely autodidactic, she worked alone for a couple of years and developed her own style. How did Svetlana come to felted garments? She was on maternity leave, but as a very active person she could not sit idle and started experiments with wool. Her first works were made for her little son and other kids (Svetlana has a big family, with a lot of nephews) and they were done in a fairy-tale style.
