Wishing All a Happy and Felt-Full Christmas

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

Dear Feltmakers Ireland Community,

As the festive season approaches, we wish you and all supporters of Feltmakers Ireland a joyful, peaceful, and safe Christmas with your loved ones. We hope the holidays bring moments of creativity—perhaps even a chance to make some felt!

Looking ahead to the New Year, our first Sunday Session of 2026 promises to be an inspiring start! On Sunday, the 12th of January, we will have a ‘Mind Mapping and Photographing Artwork Session’. Guild members Dee Crofts and Ramona Farrelly will guide us in preparing for our upcoming exhibition at the Phoenix Park Visitors Centre. The theme this year is ‘Water & Flow’, and we will be exhibiting during April.

To learn more about the exhibition, visit this page on our website – https://feltmakersireland.com/exhibition-application-2026-water-and-flow/

As the calendar year comes to an end, we invite you to renew your membership online – https://feltmakersireland.com/membership-application/

Wishing you a healthy, happy, and creative holiday season!

With warm regards,
The Committee of Feltmakers Ireland

PS: Unless there is breaking news that cannot be missed, we will take a short break over the holidays. We will return with daily blog and social media posts on Monday, the 2nd of January. So, in the meantime, Happy New Year & Happy Felting!!!
