Something Red- Grand Opening

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

FLYER ANOUNCEMENTIf you are regular follower of our blog and Feltmakers Ireland you will know that we have spent the past year preparing together with Filtti- Finnish feltmakers association, for a joint exhibition running this summer 01.07-04.08.2019 called “Something Red”.

www.filtti.fi/association.

FINLAND EXHIBITORS

Many of our valued members submitted excellent pieces of work. All of a very high standard making the job of the two independent adjudicators very hard indeed. The entrants were evaluated both in digital photo submissions and then as actual pieces and a final selection was made. The Judges remarked that Feltmakers Ireland can be very proud of the standards of its members and congratulated everyone on their efforts in taking part and helping to promote the art and craft of feltmaking.

This exhibition has been part funded by DCCoI, with thanks to them for their continued support in heritage arts and crafts.

Design & Crafts Council of Ireland

SOMETHING RED

A selection was made and 26 individual pieces of art were selected.

The grand opening is today the 30th of June and the exhibition will run for the month of July. We hope to have lots of great feedback and endeavour to take part in more international exhibitions in the future.

We are very lucky to have secured an excellent exhibition space in Portumna Castle, Co. Galway and will be exhibiting as part of the Shoreline Arts festival which runs from 8th Sept- 22nd 2019.

We encourage all our members to take a trip west to see the pieces for themselves. We will also be looking for volunteers to assist in the invigilation of the exhibition for the fortnight.

With inspiration for each piece ranging from the political to the personal this is a wonderful collection of textile work.

We hope to bring many of the pieces back from Galway in the autumn, to Dublin, to be exhibited in the Phoenix Park studio from Oct-December. This will truly have been “Something Red” on tour, and thank you to all who have helped to organise and deliver the events.

Congratulations to those successful in “Something Red”, well done to all the Feltmakers for their efforts.

Exhibition Submissions Finland

Published on by Feltmakers IrelandLeave a comment

agriculture-animal-animal-photography-459215Hi Folks,

We are looking for all you good folk to start submitting your photographs for our joint exhibition with Finland felt organisation “Filtti”. The submission date for the first round is latest 15th March. The application form is below.

We have been informed via our Finnish friends that there has been a slight name change to the Exhibtion- “Something Red” is the new title. This broadens the possibilities for submissions and is a more direct translation to English. Please do continue to submit your work, and thanks to those who have already submitted beautiful photographs for judging.

We will be looking for a venue outside of Dublin to host the returning pieces… your work will be shown Internationally and Nationally.

Good luck.
