WNYC Art & Design Spotlights Felt

Several months ago, I was contacted by WNYC for an interview on my favorite subject - FELT! Much to my surprise, I stumbled across this article a few days ago: Felt, Beloved in High End Design and Craft Communities Alike

It's a fun little read about why crafters and artists adore felt and they even included a one sentence snippet from my interview :)
