All members of the Feltmakers Ireland Guild are invited to our AGM.

This AGM is the beginning of the year of our 20th anniversary.
By starting promptly at 10.30 AM, we hope to have the formalities of the meeting completed in good time, so we can listen to our Guest Speaker, our founder Elizabeth Bonnar, give a short account of ‘Our Guild’s Beginnings’ and glimpse some of her fantastic work.

We hope to have an unofficial launch of our book Exploring Irish Wool for Feltmaking. There will be a few copies available for purchase.

Members who cannot attend in person can use the Zoom link that will be emailed out on Friday or Saturday. The session will not be recorded.

YUMS
Refreshments will follow – please bring some Home Bakes for us to sample. We always appreciate goodies with our cuppa.

SHARE ONE PIECE
You are welcome to bring one piece of your own work from the last 20 years – new members, too, please – to display around the room.

(Please label your piece clearly and securely, and please, please, please bring the piece home with you).
