Jeannette Forgacova - Bio 

Jeannette fell in love with sheep as a child when spending memorable days at her Grandparent's farm. Their beautiful fleeces have sadly been neglected for many years, the value hardly covering the cost of shearing.  Yet fleece is an eco-friendly, sustainable material for many uses in everyday life.

 She bought her first flock of six Welsh MuIe sheep for Border Collie pup Meg to work with. She also visited a farmer friend and helped with lambing and learned how to look after sheep. She loves to watch her beautiful sheep grazing on her smallholding on the Cornwall north coast.

Jeannette also makes rugs, seat pads, scarves using a peg loom weaving process and hats and cushions using dry and wet felting, which we have on sale in the Gallery..
