AGM

All members of the Feltmakers Ireland Guild are invited to our AGM this Sunday, the 12th of May.

• VENUE: CIE Sports and Social Club, INCHICORE, Dublin 8, Eircode D08X525
• DATE: 12th May 2024
• TIME: 10:30 – 12:30

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, Malú Colorín, co-founder and co-director of Fibreshed Ireland.

We have decided to continue with our draw for a €250 Bursary to participate in a feltmaking workshop of your choosing. The only caveat is that you write a short report with photos so everyone can enjoy your experience.

We will also have a new activity – a Fibre Swap. If everyone could bring roughly 50g of fibre, embellishments, fabric, etcetera, of any kind in a small opaque bag, we can form a circle and pass your fibre to the right. It will be a little bit of fun with a surprise as well. Member Jane Fox made the lovely example in today’s post for a Fibre Swap, which was part of an International Feltmakers Association (IFA) meeting in Dublin in March.

Yums

Refreshments will follow. If you could bring a little something, home-baked or not, we’d be delighted.

We always appreciate goodies with our cuppa.

Share One Piece

Lastly, you are welcome to bring a piece of your work to display during the AGM. (Please label your piece clearly and securely, and please bring your piece home with you.)
