The Art of Moy Mackay

We're thrilled to present "The Art of Moy Mackay," the brand-new book from the bestselling author and incredibly talented textile artist, Moy Mackay.

If you've enjoyed Moy's previous books ("Art in Felt & Stitch" and "Flowers in Felt & Stitch"), you're in for a treat. While those books focused on specific felting techniques, this one takes a slightly different approach. "The Art of Moy Mackay" is all about igniting your own creativity and helping you find inspiration for your very own felt painting masterpieces.

Inside, you'll get a sneak peek into Moy's personal creative world. Think of it as a guided tour through her colourful sketchbooks and captivating photographs. She shares her own design process and the influences that shape her work, offering invaluable insights that will help you unlock your own artistic potential. We reckon you'll find it utterly inspiring.

Moy gently guides you through each stage of the felt-making journey, from start to finish. She then demonstrates how to create four stunning felt paintings, each showcasing different subjects and techniques. You'll also find plenty of guidance on stitching – both by hand and with a sewing machine – plus expert advice on how to use colour effectively and introduce texture using a variety of fibres and threads.

Throughout the book, you'll discover countless examples of Moy’s own artwork. Her pieces are deeply inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of the Scottish Borders, where she lives and works. These vibrant works of art provide further inspiration for your own gorgeous felt paintings. We think you’ll love them.

From the initial spark of an idea to the final, vibrant picture, "The Art of Moy Mackay" explores the journey of artistic development. Moy takes you through the essential embellishments that add life and character to her work, transforming simple felt into something truly special.

Get ready to be inspired and unlock your inner artist with this fantastic new book. We can't wait to see what you create!
