ICA news: Early success for one of Wexford’s newest guilds

One of Wexford’s newest guilds won the federation’s 2016 Special Occasion competition.

Castlebridge Guild set up just last year, and has 44 members, with almost half of them attending a monthly arts and craft night run by guild member Lois Davies, who qualified as a sculptor in the late 1980s.

The guild emerged as overall winners, scoring 433 points out of a possible 500, in a keenly-contested competition that saw 16 guilds enter.
