Our summer magazine should have arrived in your postbox this morning with lots of news and reviews. The quarterly magazine is one of the many benefits of membership – which is just €25 per year. If your magazine doesn’t arrive it may mean that your membership has lapsed, if you would like to renew or join for the first time here is our membership form: 2015 FI Membership Form

Spring Magazine 2015

The latest edition of our magazine is hitting the presses as I write. One of the many benefits of membership (only €25 annually) is that you get a copy of the magazine posted to you quarterly. If you are unsure if you have renewed and you don’t get a copy of the Magazine in the post in the coming week please get in touch if you would like to stay involved.

SPRING 2015 COVER – just click on the link to see the image, Hungarian feltmakers Gabriella Kovac’s beautiful work entitled “Spring” and some very cute felted sheep by Jamie Lewis.

The Joy of Membership

All our members will have received the latest edition of our quarterly magazine in the post in the past week.  This issue includes :

  • Report about ‘Felt for Architecture’ workshop
  • Details of exhibition opportunities with the Design & Crafts Council & Feltmakers Ireland
  • Interview with Pam Mc Gregor
  • Exciting ways to use silk hankies
  • Tips on inexpensive felting tools
  • Advice about tackling the dreaded moth
  • And much much more….IMG_1237

The magazine is just one of the joys of membership. Membership costs €25 per year and includes reduced fees and priority places for workshops, eligibility for exhibition entry, use of the resources of Feltmakers Ireland (eg library and studio) as well as the magazine delivered to your door. The cost of the magazine accounts for the majority of your membership fee. We have generously been sending the magazine to people whose membership has lapsed but we can’t continue to do this. So if you think this might apply to you and you would like to continue enjoying the benefits of membership please fill in the application/renewal form and send it to Holly Angle with your fee, you can download the  form here: .membership-application-feltmakers-ireland-2014 Membership runs from January  each year. If you are not sure if you have lapsed you can check with Holly (hollyangle1@gmail.com).

 

Autumn Magazine

IMG_2046Our quarterly magazine arrived in the post this morning. The front and back covers show a collage of many of the international tutors who have visited Ireland and shared their skills with us over the past 10 years. Our magazine is full of information about all aspects of feltmaking in Ireland and beyond including a list of suppliers of feltmaking materials.  The magazine is posted to all our members quarterly. Membership costs €25 annually and has many other benefits as well as the magazine and is excellent value.

Congratulations to our valued committee member, and the designer of the magazine, Gina Faustino, who gave birth to a beautiful baby boy three week ago – and still managed to complete work on the layout! Congratulations also to dad Aonghus and big brother Elias.
