Organised by Mathilde Corbineau, the gallery’s retail and development manager, fifty-four stands selling wood-turning, ceramics, textiles, glass, illustrations and handmade books are participating, of which twenty two are brand new to the fair. As a motivator, there’s even an awards’ ceremony for best stand, best newcomer and best products. For €5 per child they’ll be encouraged through a facilitator to create artworks responding to what they see at the craft fair. Brookwood Pottery makes ceramics vessels, including this pair of mugs painted with delightful depictions of playful foxes (€22). Entry to the craft fair is €5 to support the gallery’s art programme, but if you’d like free entry, pick up a Glucksman Craft Fair 2019 leaflet at Parnell Place Bus Station, the tourist office, Central Library and city centre hotels.
