Maria Lucia Londoño

Hi! My name is Maria Lucia Londoño and I'm a Colombian textile designer and artist. I have a master's in Textile Design Innovation from Nottingham Trent University, UK. In 2018 I created Ata Felting, an eco-textile brand that explores and exalts the beauty of the ancestral technique of felting using exclusively natural Colombian wool from native artisan communities. I also share my knowledge in felt making to preserve this ancestral technique, and to inspire designers and artists with new possibilities. I have given workshops to artisan communities in Colombia and independent workshops in cities like Bogotá and Medellín, as well as in US cities like Detroit and Los Angeles.
