As many of you probably already know 2011 has been designated The Year of Craft, as part of that initiave the Dublin City Enterprise Board in collaberation with the CreativeD Network have created Designer Dublin.ie which is a celebration of the amazing abundance and variety of high quality craft produced in Dublin.
The Designer Dublin Craft Trail takes place on the evening of the 10th June from 5pm-8pm. Twenty one different studios and workshops that are dotted around the city are throwing open their doors for this ambitious event. They include jewellery, sculpture, millinery, fashion and ceramics. To encourage as many people as possible to visit the studios, the designers have organised a prize draw for customers with a value of in excess of €1500 worth of design and craft pieces. Many of the designers are also offering discounts of between 10% -25%. Download a map/brochure
In conjunction with this event we will be taking the opportunity to showcase our "Statement" collection. A collection of one-off, destinctive pieces, displaying some of the more unusual and rare gemstones that we have collected over the years.
We hope that the event will be a success and look forward to seeing everyone on the evening.
This is a fantastic opportunity for designers and craft workers to showcase their talents and if it is successful it will surely become an annual event
