Limerick craft hub is a clever market response

The notion of a craft maker beavering away in a little rural workshop is not far from the truth. 

For most it’s an isolated existence, operating out of a shed or garage at home with a lack of passing trade and peer support except for meeting fellow makers on excursions to craft fairs.

This prompted Limerick-based ceramicist Clare Jordan to set up the Limerick Craft Collective three years ago to create a focal point for craft makers and their work.
