About Lizzie

Lizzie Houghton trained as a Fashion Designer, has a City and Guilds qualification in creative embroidery, and is a very enthusiastic felt maker. She is an adult education teacher of felt making and machine embroidery as well as running her own workshops in feltmaking and other textile subjects. Lizzie has a studio in Leytonstone, East London, on the edge of Epping Forest where she lives.

A love of colour, pattern, textures, and natural forms combined with luxury natural fabrics are Lizzie’s greatest inspiration. She creates ‘one off’ jackets, hats, scarves, cushions, silk painted and embroidered pictures and other decorative items, incorporating her printing, dying and machine embroidery skills. She is currently experimenting widely with hand rolled felt and Nuno felting techniques with the addition of silks and velvets.
