Playtime Sunday Session

At this past Sunday’s Session, Feltmakers Ireland members gathered to work on wet and needlefelting projects, share felting tips, and share their finished projects. It was our Play Time!

Here are some photographs from our session.

Elizabeth Redding shared her ‘Temperature Record Knitted Blanket,’ which shows the daily temperatures taken at 9:30 AM in 2020.
Helena McGuinness worked on a needle-felted toadstool and shared a beautiful display of felted pieces (not photographed).

Here is Sam Fagan’s Felted Eyeglass Case created last Sunday with Judit Pocs via our hybrid/online workshop. It is awaiting further fulling.

Deirdre Crofts announces the theme of our annual exhibition – ‘Symbols of Ireland’. The show will be in March 2025 at the Phoenix Park Visitors’ Centre.

The Play Time was an excellent way to come together and share our love of feltmaking. Thank you to everyone who attended, and also to the members who shared their delicious homebakes!
