Galway Designers is a group created to help promote, connect with and bring awareness to independent Designers and Crafters in Galway and the West of Ireland. And I love when people come togeather to help support and promote Irish Design. The network is just starting out but have already started to gain traction and I am looking forward to what they do in the future.
This Saturday they are holding a showcase highlighting the work of 9 local designers, ranging from Milliners to Jewellery, Knitwear to Clothing Design which is an excellent mix of skills. It is such a great opportunity for the public to also get to talk to the designers face to face and to see their amazing pieces up close and personal on the catwalk.
Here is the line up;
- Cozy Handmade Designs
- Emerald x Wax
- Michelle Kearns Designs
- Happy Crafts
- Kizmet Clothing
- Roseanne McNamee Designs
- Treats and Trinkets by Emma A
- Maria Zamyska
- Deirdre Kennedy
If you are also interested in learning more about Roseanne McNamee you can read an interview that I did with her here.
And a note also has to be said for the host of the day – the stunning beauty blogger Ruth from The Beauty Kemple. Ruth loves all things beauty and design and will be the perfect host for the day.
There will be 2 shows over the course of the day:
- 2pm- 4pm ( VIP’s & Registration Only)
- 5.30pm – 7.30pm (Limited VIP seats, Open to the Public)
General Registration is FREE. But there are VIP Tickets available which will allocate a front row seat and a Goodie Bag containing handmade local crafts. And the fab event is being held in the fantastic BOI Workbench on Mainguard Street. Tickets are available here and for more information check out the Galway Designers Facebook page. I sadly won’t be attending but I am looking forward to future events!
