A window for Irish contemporary craft and design, the Leitrim Design House highlights the wealth of innovation and design talent in Ireland today. Craft has never been more important than now, as an antidote to mass production, and as a practice in which the very time is takes to produce an object becomes part of its value in a world that often moves too fast. Makers today express themselves through a wide range of media. Whatever the medium, craft involves a magical mix of imagination, skill and inspiration, and a unique combination of hand, mind and eye.

We invite you to engage with the culture and creativity of County Leitrim and to celebrate that which is created by hand.This is a unique opportunity to view each artist in their studio; to hear their stories and to share something of the process involved in producing each piece of craft; to view exclusive designs produced in an environmentally-responsible way; to experience the authenticity of the product and, ultimately, to feel the inspiration behind each creation.
