Collection: Patagonian Hands

Patagonian Hands

I am Claudia, owner of Patagonian Hands. I am from Coyhaique, Patagonia Chile. I have been living in Missoula, Montana, USA with my husband Karl since July 2012.
I used to be a school teacher in Chile and I have become a self-taught fiber artist and jewelry artisan since I moved to the northern hemisphere. 
I create animals, mostly birds, using only sheep wool that I get in Hall, MT and some my family in Chile. I don't use any glues or stitches to keep sculptures together, but the compression I get through barbed needles that push the fibers every time I poke the wool. This process is known as needle felting.
I also love creating silver jewelry, my inspiration is nature. I design, hand saw, solder, file and polish each piece.

All of Claudia's pieces are handmade and unique.  Therefore there will be slight differences and variation in each item that makes them special.  Claudia can also do custom sizes of rings and jewelry and custom felting orders.  To view more of Patagonian Hands amazing felt work, jewelry and more, you can also visit her website at
