Twelve members of the committee of Feltmakers Ireland travelled to Scotland at the end of March to attend the International Feltmakers Association’s AGM. The AGM consisted of a series of workshops, felt exhibition and fibre sales held over three days – as well as the business of the business of the AGM itself. It is a terrific opportunity to meet with feltmakers from all over the world and potential tutors to come and visit Ireland. The week-end was spent in the  beautiful surroundings of Loch Lomand castle, recently turned into a youth hostel but still retaining all the grandeur of a castle. Our Scottish hosts provided a very warm welcome and the organisation of the event was a model for us all. There will be a display of the work made during the week-end at our own AGM which takes place on Sunday May 17th next in Lucan.
