Get Creative with Studio Experiences

They say that engaging in art or craft is good for both the body and the mind – it can alleviate stress, boost feelings of accomplishment, improve coordination and even distract from pain. Engaging in a workshop is a great way to develop a skill, to meet new people and to go home with something that you made yourself and that you can proudly display in your home.

Many of the skilled craftspeople at Design Ireland are hosting workshops to suit curious creators of all skill levels – from introductory classes to masterclasses. Most of these classes are accessible to people of all ages though some are designed specially for younger people. From woodturning in Co. Carlow to textile art in Dublin city, here are some of our favourites from around the country.
