The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland will launch its holiday Made Local campaign tomorrow, Wednesday, the 27th of November. Many of our Feltmakers Ireland members also belong to the DCCI. Please share your Made Local contribution to raise the profile of our craft.

(Information about joining the DCCI can be found on their website – https://www.dcci.ie/members/join-dcci/as-a-designer-maker/ )

To participate, you can share behind the scenes of your business, tell what inspired you, or even give a shout-out to other makers!
 
Ideas from the DCCI:

“This can be anything: it could be you arriving at your workshop, speaking to customers, packaging those all-important Christmas gifts for customers or it could be telling us who or what inspires you. It could be all of these things as Made Local Day runs all day long and we would love to be able to like and share as many posts as we can and highlight why buying Made Local should be forefront of people’s minds this Christmas.”

Please share on Instagram by tagging @DCCIreland and using the hashtags #MadeLocal #MadetoLast #MadeLocalDay2024

Several templates are available to create social media posts:
