We hope you will drop in to our Exhibition opening next Friday:

The theme for our work this year was the natural world and the range of exhibits reflects this wonderfully. From beautifully stitched and embellished pieces showing autumn forest scenes to child hood adventures, don't miss it!

There is a fantastic array of work from fine detailed stitch work to beautifully felted scarves and hats. The poster itself (see image below) was created using an image from one of our members work.

And while you're there why not pop into the tea rooms for the best tea and scones in town!

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year everyone. I trust everyone had a lovely relaxing Christmas and saw in the New Year in style. I was going through our visitors book from our exhibition and I thought I would share with you just some of the lovely comments that people left.

I will be letting you all know about our first felt meeting of the year when we have a date confirmed.

The Exhibition

The first winter Naas Felt and Fibre Exhibition was a resounding success. 

A great crowd turned out for the Opening Night and a huge interest was shown in the work during its week on display. The exhibition was officially opened by Moll Fullam, a well known local dramatist. We held free demonstrations on the Friday which drew a lot of interest and we are already planning our next show!

A big thank you to all at McCauley Place and Naas Community Centre without which the exhibition would not have been possible.
