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.
