Design Tower: a maker’s welcome

This weekend, the 5th Floor studios in The Design Tower on Pearse Street will open its doors from 11am to 6pm, an opportunity to see the work of skilled Irish makers, including Catherine Pepin who makes jewellery; Celt and Clan Jewellers, who design, restore and repair jewellery and Roisin Gartland who will present a selection of her stretch leathers and lambskin garments like this wrap at €395.

She will also have a collection of stocking fillers like leather collars and lambskin insoles from €10.

See vimeo.com/65405811 for a video of the group's work.
