LAURA HEAP is a textile artist currently living in Cairns, Far North Queensland. A love of the Tropics drew Laura back to the North in late 2018.
Laura studied Studio Textiles at the Melbourne College of Textiles in the 1980s, majoring in hand loom weaving. She renewed her interest in feltmaking some years ago, and loves making 3D pieces, particularly hats. She combines textile skills to create felted, knitted, crocheted, dyed, stitched, woven or scrumbled one of a kind ornamental but often practical textile works of art
