The exhibition has been originated by the Collins Gallery in collaboration with the three main feltmaking associations of Mongolia: The White Circle Centre, Duuren Sanaa and the Sukhleg Felt Studio, all based in the capital Ulaan Baatar  and  each supported by the Mongolian Arts Council. 

Felt Nation’ represents the first major exhibition of contemporary Mongolian felt to be shown in the UK and will comprise a broad range of work from functional to decorative by leading makers, selected by Laura Hamilton (curator, Collins Gallery) during a research visit to Mongolia in 2007, in partnership with the three group directors and Swedish curator and collaborator , Gunilla Paetau Sjoberg. It initially evolved from a visit by members of the Scottish Felters to Mongolia in 2005, to attend the White Circle conference and to explore and experiment felting techniques as well as exchange idea with local specialists .

Crowning Glory is the latest touring exhibition of the International Feltmakers Association. As the title suggests, the exhibition showcases hand felted hats and headwear, made by felters from across the world. Submissions ranged from the elegantly practical to the wildly fanciful - but all are capapble of being worn.

The Exhibition opened at Hat Works, Stockport, in November 2007 and is now on tour across Europe until mid 2009. There are only three hire slots remaining and venues interested in the exhibition should contact the IFA Exhibition Officer - This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
