History

Fela Pile Fabric Cushion - hand-woven Spanish Textile Design by Anna Champeney Textile Studio

Galician felpa cushions are still made by hand in this part of north Spain. The ancient technique of felpa – or hand-made macro loop-pile fabric, is over 1000 years old. Anna Champeney Textile Studio, in Galicia, specialises in felpa cushions with both traditional and modern designs, and combines research into the technique with promoting a wider understanding of the technique, both in Spain and internationally. Her work is available by internet, directly from her textile studio in the Ribeira Sacra, and from exhibitions. [more...]
