Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) will be celebrating its special anniversary with “The 50 Makers: 50 Years,” exhibition, as both the President and Tánaiste pay tribute to Ireland’s talented makers. Then from next month, an expert committee will have to narrow the selection to 50 makers, representing 50 years of outstanding craft and design innovation in Ireland. DCCI Chief Executive Rosemary Steen says the exhibition will celebrate the huge role Irish makers have played in the country’s “cultural evolution”. “The skill and craftsmanship of Irish designers and creators is renowned the world over,” he said.
