Curated by Brian Kennedy, was the first in a series of exhibitions of contemporary craft & design from Ireland, which will be facilitated by STUDIO practice.

 

The exhibition focused on Irish makers whose work is influenced by ancient Irish architectural forms, the majestic Irish landscape, a deep-rooted knowledge and respect for techniques and a true understanding and love of material.

 

In addition to including work by 16 Irish craftspeople, MATERIALpoetry also featured pieces created as a result of first time collaborations between Irish designers and Irish product or craft designers at a studio level.
