Imagine a winter's morning: the air is crisp, but you're wrapped in a soft, warm shawl, tinted a deep gray illuminated by copper. This shawl is the work of Quebec felting artist Sonya St-Gelais, who fashions each piece with loving attention to detail. She selects each fiber, then felts and dyes it by hand, layer after layer, to create an accessory as refined as it is comforting. Much more than a simple shawl, it tells the story of craftsmanship, of an artisanal gesture handed down and reinvented.
