Felt Matters is the journal of the IFA and its members
Felt Matters is available in print or digitally, depending on Membership Level. This quality journal, which has forty full colour pages, is published 4 times per year, in March, June, September and December.
The content and style is largely thanks to the editor, Joan Gordon, and designer, Caed Parker, who continually strive for improvements. They are supported by the editorial team. By focussing on a theme for each issue, we feature some of the best felt artists in their field plus many up and coming felt makers.
As such, Felt Matters aspires to share the voice and works of felt makers throughout the world, and includes:
- Members' News
- Committee updates
- Exhibitions
- Education
- Book Reviews
- Spotlights on countries and regions
- Members' Montage
- Techniques
