Fibre Art by Lorna McCormack

Needle felting

Fibre Artist Lorna McCormack

Lorna McCormack is a highly skilled professional Fibre Artist renowned for her remarkable ability to sculpt animals and create lifelike portraits of pets who have crossed the "Rainbow Bridge". Her work captures the essence and personality of each animal she represents, offering a heartfelt tribute to beloved pets and a stunning showcase of artistic talent.


Artistic Background and Expertise

Lorna McCormack has developed a unique expertise in fibre art, specializing in the intricate and meticulous process of needle felting. This technique involves interlocking wool fibers using a special barbed needle to create dense, three-dimensional forms. Through years of dedication and practice, Lorna has honed her skills to produce incredibly detailed and realistic sculptures.


Sculpting Animals

Lorna’s animal sculptures are celebrated for their realism and emotional depth. She captures the distinct features and expressions of various animals, from domestic pets to wildlife, with an exceptional attention to detail. Her works often reflect the natural posture, texture, and coloration of the animals, making each piece a true-to-life representation.


Pet Portraits

One of the most poignant aspects of Lorna McCormack's work is her creation of portraits of pets who have crossed "Rainbow Bridge". These custom sculptures serve as cherished memorials for pet owners, providing a tangible way to remember and honour their beloved companions. Lorna works closely with clients, often using photographs and personal stories to ensure that each sculpture accurately reflects the unique character and spirit of their pet.


Artistic Process

Lorna’s process begins with a careful study of the animal she is going to sculpt. She gathers detailed information and images to understand the anatomy, fur patterns, and individual characteristics. Using high-quality wool and her finely tuned needle felting techniques, she meticulously builds up layers of fibre, shaping and refining the form until it captures the lifelike essence of the animal.
