Green Dot - Irish Design Makers is a hub for beautiful, ethically made, Irish craft and design, based in Clonakilty. It evolved from a small craft business making baby gifts in 2013 while owner Lisa Tonge was on maternity leave into a beautiful shop and craft studio showcasing the work of over 50 Ireland based makers and creatives.

“We now have an amazing selection of ceramics, jewelry, soap, prints, books, artisan food and lots of other treasures from all over the country, but mainly from County Cork” says Lisa. They still make pieces in-house including baby blankets, beautiful organic ‘good scarves’, personalised superhero capes and even dog neckerchiefs.
