Sat 12 Dec 2009The art of Irish crafts
You can combine sightseeing with designer shopping on the Made in Kilkenny trail, writes MICHAEL PARSONS
Most tourists who visit the city’s castle round off their trip by crossing the Parade to the original Kilkenny Design shop, one of the country’s best-known stockists of Irish crafts. If you have more time you should consider following the city’s craft trail, a leisurely do-it-yourself tour of the workshops and studios of some of Ireland’s leading craftspeople. Their products include jewellery, furniture, glassware, candles, textiles, baskets and pottery, and all stops are within 30km of Kilkenny city.
