Experience the Joy of Felting
As part of August Craft Month 2026, Feltmakers Ireland is delighted to host an Open Day in Inchicore, Co. Dublin. (A separate event will also take place in Boyle, Co. Roscommon – please see the separate listing.)
Workshops
Join us on Sunday, the 16th of August, for an introduction to the art of feltmaking. Participants can choose to create either a simple wet-felted flower or a needle-felted flower in one of our hands-on workshops.
Two workshop sessions will be available:
-
Morning session: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
-
Afternoon session: 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM
As we will be teaching groups of participants, workshops will begin promptly at the advertised times. To reduce the amount of ‘no shows’ there is a small fee of 5 euros and places will need to be booked via our website – https://feltmakersireland.com/booking-page-feltmakers-ireland-august-craft-month-2026/
Other Activities
In addition to the workshops, visitors can:
-
View an exhibition showcasing the wonderful creative possibilities of feltmaking
-
Browse and purchase handcrafted felted artworks made by Feltmakers Ireland members
-
Explore a display of felted fibres from Irish-raised sheep
-
Learn more about Irish wool through our publication, Exploring Irish Wool for Feltmaking, which will be available to view and purchase
Whether you are curious about feltmaking, interested in Irish wool, or simply looking for a creative day out during August Craft Month, we look forward to welcoming you.

Accessibility Information
The building is accessible with a slight ramp down to enter the main hall. There are toilets, including an accessible one. There is ample free parking in front of the building. People coming by car would turn off Grattan Crescent onto Inchicore Terrace, then right onto West Terrace, and arrive at the Square outside the Hall. If you are taking public transport from the centre of Dublin, the G1, G2 and number 60 buses stop on Sarsfield Road. The stop on the route from town is 2643. Facing the stone wall, turn left and walk back approximately 16 strides from the bus stop to go through a ‘hole’ in the stone wall. Walk along Inchicore Terrace North past the houses, and you will see the CIE Hall as you come around the corner. (Do not walk forward/downhill from the bus stop towards the train underpass).
