Shop For Ireland…
This Christmas Buy Irish!
We are delighted to announce that home grown Irish companies
supported by the recognised Guaranteed Irish symbol have almost
doubled their attendance at this year’s National Crafts And Design
Fair – Ireland’s flagship event for craft & design excellence.
Our greatly increased presence here today is wholly thanks to you - the Irish
consumer - and your outstanding response to last year’s “Shop for Ireland”
campaign. You voted with your pockets, you shopped with Irish companies
and you created Irish jobs. So thank you for your support. The score of
diverse and enterprising Irish companies participating at the show hail
from locations right across Ireland where they provide employment directly
in their home towns and parishes. The wages they pay are spent locally, in
turn supporting even more Irish jobs. The taxes they pay aid the economic
recovery. Their continued efforts and successes give hope, encouragement
and confidence to the other budding entrepreneurs around them in their
home towns. These companies are Ireland’s true green shoots of revival. As a discerning consumer you have the most vital role of all to play in Irish job creation by wielding the
power of your shopping basket. Our research shows that if every family spent just E4 per week more
on Irish products then we would have 6,000 new jobs. The firms you see here today are backed by the
Guaranteed Irish symbol which has unprecedented 85% recognition among Irish buyers. Our symbol is
the best guarantee to you that the money you spend in Ireland stays here in Ireland and that it creates
and maintains badly needed Irish jobs in times when so many of our young people are not coming
home for Christmas. Consider too that up to one third of all Irish annual retail spending takes place at
Christmas - the potential impact of your own festive shopping basket on Irish employment is huge.
We invite you to visit each and every one of the Guaranteed Irish supported exhibitors here today.
Cast your eye over what they have on offer. We are confident that you’ll discover that our range
of Irish craft and product speaks for itself at all levels of excellence.
SILVERSTONE DIMENSIONS
For a unique and extra special Christmas gift for
a loved one why not start with a smoulderingly
stylish piece of handcrafted jewelry in ebony,
silver, gold and semi precious stones from
Cork’s own Silverstone Dimensions. The studio
is run by Shmuel Yolzari and his wife Mareid and
the craftsmanship demonstrates a refreshingly
diverse blend of Middle Eastern, Balkans and
Celtic influences.

truly Irish without a Foxford throw or
blanket from the famous woollen mills

once again to ensure that we can all look forward to a more
prosperous new year. Help us to tip the balance in Ireland’s
favour for 2014.

Champions Of Ireland
Meet the Maker
s
Ireland has brought the terms brogue and Aran to
fashion’s vernacular. These items form part of our heritage but
their DNA is evident in the work of contemporary Irish fashion and
textile designers who continue to weave the crafts skills of their
forefathers into their creations.
LOUTH LUXE
Edmund McNulty’s less-is-more designer knitwear for
men is inspired by the colours of his native Donegal.
“It is not enough to only design clothing,” says McNulty
whose collections sell very successfully in Japan where
buyers appreciate his innovation and hand-crafted finish.
“You must also have an understanding of the business of
fashion,” adds Edmund who is now based in Drogheda, Co.
Louth. “Japan recognises the idea of slow fashion and the
use of good fibres and strong design.” This has influenced
Edmund’s range of sweaters and scarves,
creating products that are both timeless
and luxurious.
The very best products - each ‘Imagined,
Designed and Made in Ireland’ - on display at
the National Crafts & Design Fair
Amongst the exhibitors at the National Crafts
& Design Fair you will discover over 200 craft
enterprises registered with the Crafts Council
of Ireland presenting a stunning array of
quality gifts.
Watch out for the ‘Imagined, Designed, Made in
Ireland’ signage on their stands, giving you the
confidence that all the craft products they are
selling are Irish made.
Design Intelligence
Brilliant design has always been essential but
the story behind the making of the object is
becoming more important; the choice of
materials and technique, where something was
made and who made it, all combine to add value,
desirability and exclusivity.
This marriage of design, materials and
craftsmanship is alive and well here in Ireland,
which in 2013 is brimming with fresh thinking,
3
contemporary design ideas and
new approaches to making.
Focus on Inspiration
At the Crafts Council of Ireland Display
Area in the centre of the Main Hall see craft
demonstrations over the 5 days of the fair.
Browse through the selected products on
display where you will find unique gifts that say
as much about the giver as the receiver.
After the Fair keep up to date on the amazing
selection of beautiful jewellery, ceramics, home,
textiles and gifts available nationwide by visiting
www.giveirishcraft.com.
We hope you will be delighted and inspired by
the diversity of craft that this country has to
offer – and we wish you a happy and craft-filled
Christmas.
Enjoy the fair.

HATS OFF TO HER
Wendy Louise Knight creates award-winning hats and
headpieces for all occasions from her design studio in County
Longford. Hat making is in her genes – her grandparents had
a hat factory in Luton in the UK and she rescued a couple of
hat blocks from that establishment, which she uses to form
some of her creations.
“I specialise in creating headwear to suit both the occasion
and the wearer – the focus is on style, comfort and
confidence,” says Wendy Louise.
“Each hat is made individually by
me. Most of the fabrics come from
milliner suppliers in the UK. I also
use vintage trims and ribbons and
recycle elements of old beaded
necklaces.”

Adornment is a practice that is as old as our Celtic past.
While the well-known historic designs of our heritage
continue to inspire today’s gold and silversmiths, the
hand-made creations of this generation of craftspeople
are influenced by contemporary design and making. New
technologies also feature as jewellery design and making
adapts to the 21st Century landscape.

Home is where the hearth is. Irish product and
furniture designers take elements of our past and have
reinvented them for modern living, all the while celebrating our
materials, culture and heritage.
NEW STONE AGE IN MEATH
Eric Byrne of Hennessy & Byrne is a second generation
master stone mason based in County Meath. With over
twenty years experience working with indigenous Irish
stone, Eric transforms Connemara marble, Kilkenny
limestone and Wicklow granite into napkin rings, cheese
boards, cake & salad servers and giftware.
DIVINE DUBLIN-MADE DESIGNS
Yvonne Ryan is an Irish designer based in Dublin. Her fashion
jewellery collection was launched in 2005 followed, in 2012,
with her eponymous fine jewellery line at Arnotts and Loulerie
under the brand Yvonne Ryan Jewellery. Her creations have a
strong sculptural quality to them, inspired in part by talents
handed down to her from her sculptor father.
By the very nature of their materials, Eric’s products have
become a touchstone to ancient
Ireland. Eric recently produced
a marble table for the EU
presidential rooms in the Justus
Lipsius building in Brussels.
Yvonne works in silver and gold, as well as diamonds.
Her stacking rings offer wearers the opportunity to add a
fashion element to their fine jewellery, building a collection
that is interchangeable.
The pieces are contemporary but quite classical. Every piece
is wearable and comfortable. “I reuse silver and waste is
recycled and re-melted where possible in my Ballsbridge
studio,” explains Yvonne.

WEAVING TRADITION
Cushendale Woollen Mills has been in operation
in Graignamanagh, Co. Kilkenny since the mid
1800s. Philip Cushen, whose forefathers founded
the mill all those years ago, oversees every
step of the process. The raw wool from Irish
producers is washed in pure water supplied by
the river Duiske. The yarn, fibres and fabrics are
all dyed in-house. The wool is carded and spun
to create a yarn strong enough for weaving or
knitting. The woven fabric is then
washed, felted, dyed or brushed to
give the desired fabric effect.
The results are Cushendale’s
stunning ranges of colourful
throws, rugs and knitting yarns.
