Sunday Session: This Sunday – Preparing for Exhibitions

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

Upcoming Sunday Session

Our December Sunday session on the 8th, Feltmakers Ireland, will help to get members’ creative juices flowing for our 2025 exhibition. The theme is ‘Symbols of Ireland’, and the show opens in March, which is relatively soon. To learn more about our upcoming exhibition theme, please visit this page on our website – https://feltmakersireland.com/exhibition-application-symbols-of-ireland-2025/

We encourage you to bring any previous artwork you have questions about framing or presenting. This will provide us with examples while we discuss possible ways to frame or display pieces for an exhibition.

  • Committee member Dee Crofts will supportively lead a Mind Mapping exercise around the exhibition’s theme to spark our creativity.
  • Guild member Ramona Farrelly, a talented photographer, will share how to photograph work for online submissions.
  • Guild Member Marie Dunne, who is also a member of Element15 and has artwork in their inspiring group exhibition, Roots: A Dialogue in Textile and Poetry, at the Coach House Gallery, Dublin Castle, will discuss the preparation and framing of artwork.

When:

This Sunday, the 8th of December, from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM.

Where: 

CIE Hall/Inchicore Sports and Social Club,
Library Square
Inchicore
Dublin 8, D08 PA07

Additional Information:

As this Sunday’s Session is in December, it would be lovely if everyone wore some ‘Felted Festive Cheer’! (It need not be red or green).

Also, this session will require lots of tea, coffee, cake, and chat, so there will be an abundance of this. Of course, homebakes are always welcome! Mmm, mince pies….

There is the usual 5 euro fee, (which in 2025 will be waived for all members).

Wishing all the best to our members who are busy vending their work at Christmas Markets and Craft Fairs. The website has two blog posts on our members’ events: Part 1 and Part 2.

Lastly, as this is also the season of coughs and sneezes, please do not attend if there is a chance that you are unwell. A Zoom link will be emailed to members on Friday so members can participate via this method.
