The International Feltmakers Association (IFA) is delighted to announce the opening of our 6th annual online exhibition, launched during our AGM on March 29, 2025. This year, we proudly showcase the work of 90 feltmakers from around the world, exploring the theme “Connections.”
Exploring Connections Through Felt
Feltmaking is an art form rich in meaning and texture, and this year’s theme invited members to reflect on what connection means to them. Some pieces explore personal or cultural connections, while others highlight inspirations drawn from nature, other artists, or different mediums. And, of course, there’s a technical side—how one fibre bonds to another, how layers build up, and how the simplest stitches or embellishments create intricate connections within a piece.
Our inclusive approach means that everyone who applied has been given a place in this year’s exhibition, whether they are a seasoned artist or taking their first steps in feltmaking. This creates a beautifully diverse collection of work, each piece telling a unique story of connection.
