The IFA online shop is now open again after our little stock take and to celebrate we have cut the price of back issues of Felt Matters, our quarterly journal. The current issue is still £12 but older issues are available for as little as £4 including postage and packing.

The feltmakers in Ireland have their own organisation Feltmakers Ireland founded in May 2003 in response to a growing interest in feltmaking. Feltmakers Ireland has received enthuastic support from a very energetic membership. Visit their lively website at www.feltmakersireland.com.

The IFA was very pleased to be the guests at Feltrosa earlier this year where the exhibition The Climate Is Changing was launched.

Coordinamento Tessitori, in collaboration with International Feltmakers Association, Filz Netz Werk and Fondazione Museo del Tessuto has organised this travelling exhibition of felt textile art on the impact of human actions on the environment. The exhibition is the result of collaboration between the three European organizations that are dedicated to the promotion of the art of felt, in order to create opportunities and opportunities for interaction and cultural exchange. The exhibition will tour Europe in the coming two years.

There are two videos available on YouTube showing the opening location for this important exhibition:
