Irish Craft Portfolio shows at the Kenny Gallery

An exhibition featuring the innovative and unique work of craftmakers selected for the Irish Craft Portfolio publication opens at the Kenny Gallery, Liosbán Retail Park, Galway next Saturday, August 14 at 2pm.

Irish Craft Portfolio presents the work of leading Irish makers chosen by an international selection panel for 2010. The exhibition will continue daily between 9am to 5pm, Monday to Staturday, until September 9th.

Irish Craft Portfolio was established by the Crafts Council of Ireland in 2005 to provide a platform for promoting the work of some of Ireland’s finest craftworkers, producing work to an international exhibition standard. The exhibition represents contemporary craftwork that combines the highest quality craftsmanship with a consideration of material and technique that sits comfortably on the international stage.

Commenting on the exhibition, Úna Parsons, CEO, Crafts Council of Ireland said, “The craftwork included in this exhibition and in the Irish Craft Portfolio publication will serve to further enhance Ireland’s reputation as a world-class source of contemporary craft. I would encourage anyone with a passion for craft to visit the exhibition and enjoy the work of these exceptionally talented craftspeople.”
