Esther Bechler - Dayton, Ohio


Esther’s many artistic outlets include photography, sculpture, bookmaking, writing, and fiber arts.  She has a BA in Art Therapy and started graduate school but got sidetracked by needle felting.  Esther has been playing with fiber and other art forms all her life. In 2005 she came to AFIC and purchased her first set of felting needles and wool.  She hasn’t stopping felting since. Esther became so obsessed with the felting process she opened her own studio dedicated to the felting process. When she needed a name for her new found obsession, Esther chose Moonrise Studio. With a husband 4 children, 1 grandchild foster children and assorted animals all living together, the only time for felting was after the moon had risen. Esthers web site www.moonrisestudio.com
