Irish seascape art print of Galway Hooker boats at sunset in the harbour, Kinvara, Ireland. From an original textile felt landscape /wool painting. A limited edition art print of 95, by felt artist Janine Jacques.
Three Galway Hookers sailing through Kinvara harbour as the sun began to set.
We were at the Cruinniunam Bad Festival held every year in Kinvara, Ireland to celebrate these beautiful boats.
Their sails, made from calico were covered in a solution made from tree bark or a tar and butter mix. This would protect and weatherproof them, known as ‘barking the sails’, giving Galway Hookers their distinctive red coloured sails.
I love the bright red colour of their sails and wanted to celebrate them in this, and other, artworks.

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use wool in lots of different colours (as you would tubes of paint) and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base (as you would paint on canvas).
Once finished the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the ‘wet felting’ technique to make the wool painting into a piece of felt. You do this by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wools scales and the friction (rubbing/rolling) binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15-20% and you end up with one piece of felt material.
Once the felted picture is dry I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
The final felt art is attached to a piece of acid free mount board and mounted and framed as seen.
