The Design and Craft Council of Ireland (DCCI) has an ongoing series called ‘Meet the Maker’, which interviews members and asks exciting questions such as, “What do you like most about your work?”. In addition, the DCCI has another feature called ‘Sunday Spotlight’, which shares information about a member via DCCI’s social media.

Three of Feltmakers Ireland’s guild members were recently featured by the DCCI.
