The Office of Public Works is delighted to announce the launch of ‘Symbols of Ireland’ group exhibition by Feltmakers Ireland in the Phoenix Park Visitors Centre, Dublin. Officially opened by Sabina Higgins, this exciting exhibition features the remarkable work of 48 artists who specialise in wool and felting techniques.
