Feltmakers Ireland is delighted to present ‘Water and Flow’, a vibrant group exhibition featuring the work of 68 members. This inspiring showcase explores the many interpretations of water through the rich and versatile medium of felt.
The exhibition will be officially launched by knitwear designer Conor O’Brien on Saturday, 4 April at 3 PM.
From gentle streams to powerful oceans, ‘Water and Flow‘ explores the many moods of water: its energy and stillness, its capacity for renewal, and its connection to human emotion, from joy to sorrow.
Using fibres ranging from imported Merino wool to locally sourced Irish fleece, members have created a diverse body of work that highlights both traditional and contemporary felting practices. Featuring an array of textile techniques, including wet felting and needle felting, guild members have created three-dimensional sculptures, wall art, and wearable pieces, each offering a unique perspective on the theme, reflecting the creativity and individuality of the artists involved.
The exhibition is at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre Gallery and runs from Thursday, the 2nd of April, to Sunday, the 26th of April. The hours are 9:30 AM to 5 PM, daily, with the exhibition closing on its final day at 3 PM.
The gallery is conveniently accessible by Dublin Bus number 99 and is located within the historic Phoenix Park. There is ample parking near the Centre.

The artwork featured on the exhibition poster is ‘Waterfall’ by Joanne Turner.
