Design & Crafts Council Ireland is delighted to present ‘Common Threads’ an exhibition showcasing the intricate and expressive work of artists from Feltmakers Ireland and The Quilters Guild of Ireland.

A contemporary textile exhibition exploring connection through fibre and form

This contemporary textile exhibition delves into the theme of connection—between people, materials, and traditions—through the tactile language of fibre and form. The exhibition will run from August 7 to November 1, 2025, offering visitors a rich sensory experience that celebrates both innovation and heritage in Irish textile art.

The exhibition is the 2025 edition of the Made Local GANS (Guilds, Associations, Networks and Societies) exhibition series which runs annually, showcasing the work of Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) organisational members, and the Made Local campaign which celebrates and promotes Irish made design and craft.
