FeltUnited
A not for profit group of artists with a vast ranging network reaching artists across the planet through diverse associations, groups guilds, individual homes, studios, schools and art groups.
Our goal is to connect feltmakers around the globe.
Many feltmakers are geographically disconnected from their peers. There is a diversity of lifestyle, with some living on farms producing their own fibre, and others living in cities relying on major producers for their supplies. The tie that binds them is that they make felt, in all shapes and forms, everything from sturdy carpets to ethereal scarves or installation art. The world wide web provides us with a connection that brings us together.
It is time for the inevitable next step. A project that unites us in more than a virtual world.
Together - we felt united.
Every year on the first saturday of October, felters from around the globe show their felt to the world, work on collaborations, travel the world to meet each other, party, celebrate, exhibit, teach, talk and share. Everybody in their own way, all united on working in the same theme, same day, same joy but different ideas. Photo's and stories of all you do on this year's FeltUnited can be shared on the FeltUnited facebook page.

Call for submissions by Tracey Markey and Angela Barrow.
The dying of the sun – a meditation on fire
To celebrate the fourth annual International Day of Felt, Tracy Markey and Angela Barrow invite you to participate in their exhibition to be held at The Barn Gallery, Perthshire. The exhibition will run from 5th to 12th October 2012.
There are two opportunities available and artists are welcome to submit work for one or both of them.
Main Exhibition: Artwork can be 2D or 3D and must contain an element of felt. However, mixed/multi media pieces are encouraged. Artists can submit up to three pieces for consideration. Please be as creative as you wish with your interpretation of the theme!
Collaborative piece: With your help, we are going to create a huge fire inspired piece to form part of the exhibition.
We are seeking pieces for inclusion … think flames; smoke; sparks; embers … these will then be assembled in situ to create one large piece of work.
Your piece(s) can be any size, shape and combination of colours, as long as they are made from felt (other textiles can be included but should not be the main material).
To register your interest, and receive further details, please send an email to Tracy Markey, narkeymarkey@hotmail.co.uk, by Thursday 28th June 2012.
If you wish to be considered for the main exhibition please include three images of your previous work along with a description of the piece(s) you propose to submit for the exhibition.
