Following on from our successful participation in Bloom last year Feltmakers Ireland will again have a stand at this years show. The stand will have a display of felt works and ongoing demonstrations of feltmaking throughout the five days of the Show. Our success last year was totally dependent on the number of members who volunteered and came along to help out on the stand. Three hours on the stand is great fun – eight hours is very hard work. This year we are again calling on members to sign up. The Show runs from Thursday 28th May to Monday 1st June. If you would like to take part please contact Eleanor at eleanorroche@excite.com

AGM & Felt Bazaar

We are hosting our AGM on Sunday May 17th. It’s not really an AGM as you might know it – more like a fun day with lots of fibre, an exhibition of felt work and lots of people who share your passion for felt. This year we are delighted to welcome Freda from the Wool Initiative to give a presentation about her work and the type of sheep and wool she has. (www.woolinitiative.com). We will have our usual selection of stalls selling supplies. The AGM is a great opportunity to meet up with other felters.  It is also a chance to have your views included in decisions abut the future direction of Feltmakers Ireland. We are always delighted to receive comments and  suggestions on the programme of events  presented throughout the year. You can contact Sheila Ahern if you would like any further information on sheila.ahern@ireland.com. See you in St Andrew’s Parish Centre in Lucan, Co Dublin on Sunday 17th May from 1-3pm.

The AGM also marks membership renewal time – all membership is up on May 17th. If you wish to continue being a member (or indeed would like to join for the first time) and retain all the benefits of membership (quarterly Newsletter, reduction price for workshops etc) please complete the form you received in the post, also available on this site, and bring it to the AGM or drop in teh post. Many Thanks.
