🪡Feltmakers Ireland Presents ‘Water and Flow’ – A Contemporary Felt Exhibition
DCCI GANS member Feltmakers Ireland is delighted to present ‘Water and Flow’, a vibrant group exhibition showcasing the contemporary artwork of 67 of its members. This dynamic exhibition explores the many interpretations of water through the rich and versatile medium of felt.
🌊From gentle streams to powerful oceans, ‘Water and Flow’ captures the many moods of water—its energy and stillness, its capacity for renewal, and its deep connection to human emotion, from sorrow to joy.
🧶Using fibres ranging from imported Merino wool to locally sourced Irish fleece, participating artists have created a diverse and engaging body of work. The exhibition highlights both traditional and contemporary felting practices, featuring techniques such as wet felting and needle felting. Visitors can expect an exciting array of three-dimensional sculptures, wall pieces, and wearable art, each offering a unique interpretation of the theme while reflecting the individuality and creativity of the makers.

The exhibition was officially launched by knitwear designer Conor O’Brien on Saturday, the 4th of April, at 3 PM.
