Leone Simkins

I have always been passionate about working with my hands and bringing creative ideas to life. As the sole proprietor of a dance school for 39 years, I had endless opportunities to teach, choreograph, and innovate—not just in movement but in designing costumes, scenery, and immersive experiences. That same creative spirit now fuels my work as a fiber artist. Through the art of needle felting, I craft one-of-a-kind woolen sculptures, blending realism with whimsy in a style I call "realistic fantasy." Each piece tells its own story, transforming wool into characters full of personality and charm. After moving to Dennis Port full-time, I founded Good Feathers in Fiber, creating unique works for shops across Cape Cod and beyond. In addition to selling my work, I offer workshops for groups and art centers, sharing the joy of sculpting with wool and helping others bring their own creative visions to life.
