A photo of one of my pieces was in The Irish Times to day (and on the Irish Times website) taken yesterday at The Showcase Fashion Show.
‘PRESIDENT MICHAEL D Higgins yesterday joined the Crafts Council of Ireland in urging people to seize opportunities offered by the booming craft industry. Opening Showcase 2012 – Ireland’s Creative Expo at the RDS, Mr Higgins said “post-hedge funds”people were “once again beginning to value skill and craftsmanship”. He praised the 450 exhibitors at the expo saying they combined traditional designs with “new materials, new applications” in what was “a celebration of creativity”.
Included in the exhibition are emerging and established Irish brands from Tipperary Crystal, to design-led fashion and knitwear, jewellery, gifts and interiors. Some 5,500 buyers are expected to attend the exhibition which runs until Wednesday, with orders expected to be worth in the region of €20 million. It was, the President said, “a tribute to those who refused to be defeated by the economic downturn”.’
