Of Interest: Felt United Celebration This Saturday

The online felting event, Felt United, is happening this Saturday, October 5th, 2024. All over the world, those who work in the media of felt are encouraged to share one piece related to this year’s theme.

This year’s Felt United theme is ‘Opposites Attract,’ an inspiration familiar to our guild. Some of our group were initially challenged by the theme, but it can be as simple as contrasting colours or the combination of sea and shore.

{Members of Feltmakers Ireland explored this theme for our annual exhibition at the Phoenix Park Visitors’ Centre this past May. There are a series of seven posts about our members’ inspiration here – https://feltmakersireland.com/2024/05/09/exhibition-opposites-attract-the-inspiration/ }

From Felt United’s Facebook page –

Felters from around the globe show their felt to the world, work on collaborations, travel the world to meet each other, party, celebrate, exhibit, teach, talk and share. Everybody in their own way, all united by working on the same theme, same day, same joy but different ideas.

Share your new theme-related creations online with Felt United.

FELT UNITED 2023 THEME: CHANGING SEASONS

This may be of interest to Feltmakers Ireland members/followers:

Nicola Brown and Dawn Edwards warmly invite you to participate in this year’s Felt United theme, ‘Changing Seasons, ’ through the sharing of your felt images pertaining to the theme.

The allure of nature’s changing seasons offers an endless source of inspiration…From the vibrant hues of autumn leaves to the delicate blossoms of spring, each season brings its unique magic and transformation.

Felt United is celebrated on the first Saturday in October, so this year, that falls on October 7, 2023.

Please feel free to interpret the theme in any way that you wish. We are requesting that you please include a short statement along with your photo(s). It’s always interesting for our members to hear from the artist regarding the thinking that goes into making their creations.

We look forward to seeing your felt submissions, and you may begin submitting your images as soon as your felt creation is complete.

Let your imagination bloom and embrace the enchantment of the ‘Changing Seasons’ through your felt art!

Our warmest regards,

Dawn Edwards (USA) and Nicola Brown (IRELAND)
