Peta-Lee Woolf wanted to produce local products that also had the opportunity to provide employment and empowerment to the previously disadvantaged. She trains, guides and works with local felters to produce her creations. Her team of craftspeople either learnt their basic skills via community workshops, or have been trained by her from scratch.
