Isabelle Boudreau

After spending over fifteen years designing and crafting costumes for the theatre, I discovered the textile technique of felting—and it was love at first sight. Since then, I’ve been felting everything I can! Through my explorations, I felt a strong desire to highlight wool, a noble and renewable material that is nearly forgotten today. I developed a wide range of eco-conscious products for my brand, Izzy Pop, including felted soaps, jewelry, and fashion accessories.

As a visual arts enthusiast, I also use felting to create wall pieces, treating dyed fibers much like paint. My dual background in design and contemporary dance education infuses my work with rhythm and fluidity. By integrating various fibers such as silk, linen, and hemp, I bring a rich, textural dimension to my creations—hills and valleys to explore, a playground for light. You can feel the rush of wind, the ripple of water, and the passage of time in each piece.

Much like watercolor, felting undergoes a magical transformation during the drying process—a moment that continues to fascinate me and deepens the sense of movement I hold so dear. I invite you to indulge your senses—and your sense of ethics—in a world where everything is gentle on your skin, your eyes, and the planet.
