I am a textile artist and maker working mainly as a feltmaker and eco printer, based in Co Laois . I work from home and sell in markets when possible. JGEMCRAFTS is my business name although I use my own name too. I have been quilting for 26 years, feltmaking for 12 years and eco printing during covid. I am a member of international Feltmakers, Feltmakers Ireland, embroiders guild and quilters guild of Ireland. Textiles are my passion. I exhibit with all the guilds and theArt House Collective Stradbally, and recently had a stand at the ploughing championship as CAIRDE.
