Common Threads brings together the intricate and expressive work of artists from Feltmakers Ireland and The Quilters Guild of Ireland. 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. This contemporary textile exhibition delves into the theme of connection – between people, materials, and traditions – through the tactile language of fibre and form. Hosted at DCCI’s National Design & Craft Gallery in Kilkenny, 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.
Opening times vary; please check the DCCI National Design & Craft Gallery website at www.ndcg.ie. To find out more about Made Local, go to MadeLocal.ie.
