Perhaps a bit far away from Dublin, but still may be of interest: Eden Wool Gathering inaugural launch is this weekend.
The Eden Wool Gathering will showcase wool and wool-related crafts. They will cover the entire process of wool production, from the sheep to the finished products. There will be exhibits of hand shearing, skirting and preparation, various types of spinning, weaving, felting and dyeing. Additionally, there will be exhibits featuring various types of knitting and crochet.
Friends of Feltmakers Ireland, Shelley Steele, and Lena Archbold will be demonstrating and teaching there.
Incidentally, Lena has an interesting article on her blog about feltmaking with raw local wool and the colours and markings of the Shetland breed – https://www.lenaarchbold.co.uk/post/exploring-texture-cobweb-scarves-lace-and-the-beauty-of-raw-fleece
When: Saturday, the 26th through Sunday, the 27th of July.
Where: Whithorn Round House, Bruce Street, Whithorn, DG8 8NS, Scotland, United Kingdom
