Getting crafty with your Christmas shopping

Carol O’Callaghan looks at what’s on offer at the Glucksman Craft Fair at the UCC gallery next weekend.

AN OPPORTUNITY to see, buy and even commission work from some of Ireland’s designer craft-makers is on offer at the Glucksman, University College Cork, from November 12 to 14.

Now in its ninth year, the fair has grown from occupying one floor to extending across all three, and is a testament to the commitment of this gallery, noted internationally for showing contemporary art, to supporting crafted design.
