DCCI Made Local 2024 Christmas Launch

DCCI Made Local 2024 Christmas Launch with Grant Designs

This year’s Christmas launch for the Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) Made Local campaign took place in the beautiful setting of the Smock Alley Theatre earlier this month.

I was delighted to have my Synergy Nautical Sculpture and Rugby Ball Sculpture chosen as part of the launch celebrating Irish made products and design.

This year 68 Made Local makers took part alongside Irish Paralympian Ellen Keane, the Made Local 2024 Brand Ambassador.

Her pride in supporting Irish talent and craftsmanship this Christmas perfectly summed up the feeling created through Made Local.

The event was a huge success, featuring makers across different disciplines, from all across Ireland and this VIDEO link will give you a flavour of the day.

#MadeLocal #MadetoLast

The Made Local campaign continues to play a pivotal role in showcasing the incredible diversity of our design and craft industry. Locally made products embody authenticity and quality and they are a uniquely desirable gift at Christmas. Choosing local isn’t just a purchase – it’s a statement of support for craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation”
