About the Artist

Betty Hayzlett has been working with fiber ever since she was a little girl.  Today she combines the making of hand-made felt (made from raw, dyed wool) with weaving and other techniques and materials to make her art.  She loves to play with visual contrast, and focuses on using rich colors and on combining different techniques to create richly textured and richly colored surfaces on flat, as well as three-dimensional forms.  Betty also looks at increasing the visual contrasts by introducing other materials, especially wood, into her work.
