Agnès (the A in a&b originals) was born and raised in the region of Brittany, in the west of France and migrated to Australia in 2005. She moved to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland with her partner Bernard (the B!) at the beginning of 2019 and started her new venture after many years of working in corporate.

Agnès has always been crafty for as long as she can remember. After trying a range of creative mediums, she found her true calling in the form of felting and more particularly nuno felting which appeal to her love of colours and tactile sensations. 

She enjoys working with the soft and colourful superfine Australian merino wool and the (mostly) recycled silk fabrics using the ancient technique of felting as well as its more modern form, nunofelting, combining these materials to create unique and colourful pieces.

She continues to develop her own style while attending felting classes with Australian and international master felters.
