Fiona Duthie is a fibre artist recognized for her dynamic surface design in felt.

Fiona explores personal narrative in textiles, focusing on relationships between people and place, and our psychological states and responses. She starts a new piece with a story and creates tactile metaphors in form, material and process to best communicate that narrative.  Her current work includes paper felted with wool,  sumi-e ink, charred wood, and ceramics applied in a range of forms.  

Fiona teaches fibre arts workshops, primarily around exploration in felt, internationally and online. 

Fiona has a full time studio practice on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. Being in this beautiful natural space surrounded by forest, rocky beaches, the ocean and a strong artist community has allowed her creative practice to thrive.
