An GRIANAN Theatre’s Christmas Craft and Art Fair takes place this Saturday, December 7 from 10am to 5pm.
Last year’s fair was one of the highlight’s of the Christmas Shopping Period, with the theatre foyer and cafe tastefully decorated and with Christmas music playing and seasonal treats it really is a most relaxed and enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
This Craft and Art Fair is unique in Donegal in that each of the exhibitors has been specially chosen for the quality of their handcrafted items, ranging from jewellery to batik, ceramics, knitwear, paintings, textiles, silk painting, photography, woodturning, felting and more. For one day only this selected group of craft makers and artists will give you an opportunity to buy the best and classiest presents anyone will receive this year.
Best of all admission is free. Curated by Deirdre McGinley Ramsay who graduated from the National College of Art and Design with a B.A. (Hons.) in Fine Art Printmaking and is well known for her craft and jewellery skills, the exhibiting artists and designer/makers she has chosen are some of the finest in the North West.
