As part of August Craft Month 2026, Feltmakers Ireland is delighted to host an Open Day in Inchicore, Co. Dublin. (We are also hosting another event on Saturday, the 15th in Boyle, Co. Roscommon – please see the separate listing.)

Join us on Sunday, the 16th of August, for an introduction to the art of feltmaking. Participants can choose to create either a simple wet-felted flower or a needle-felted flower in one of our hands-on workshops.

Two workshop sessions will be available:

  • Morning session: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Afternoon session: 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM

As we will be teaching groups of participants, workshops will begin promptly at the advertised times.

Other Activities

In addition to the workshops, visitors can:

  • View an exhibition showcasing the wonderful creative possibilities of feltmaking
  • Browse and purchase handcrafted felted artworks made by Feltmakers Ireland members
  • Explore a display of felted fibres from Irish-raised sheep
  • Learn more about Irish wool through our publication, Exploring Irish Wool for Feltmaking, which will be available to view and purchase

All ages welcome!

Please note: Children must be accompanied by an adult. Wet felting is suitable for younger children, while needle felting is recommended for ages 10+ because the technique uses sharp felting needles.

Directions

We are located at the CIE Hall/ Inchicore Sports & Social Club, CIE Works, Library Square, Inchicore, Dublin, D08 PA07

Public Transport

If you are taking public transport from the centre of Dublin, the G1, G2 and number 60 buses stop on Sarsfield Road. The stop on the route from town is 2643. Facing the stone wall, turn left and walk back approximately 16 strides from the bus stop to go through a ‘hole’ in the stone wall. Walk along Inchicore Terrace North past the houses, and you will see the CIE Hall as you come around the corner. (Do not walk forward/downhill from the bus stop towards the train underpass).
