Catch a Galway Fairy for Christmas!

Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery hopes to find some good homes for these delightful 'Freshly Caught Fairies' and 'Galway Fairies'! These are lovingly made by Rachel and Adrian in Loughrea, Co. Galway. Each one is different and all of them are special!

Ruth Cadden's prints will delight all those who love the Galway countryside.

Ruth's work covers landscape, figurative work ( human and animal), portraits, her own take on the stories of Greek mythology, pieces of social commentary ( again, both human and animal and hybrid of both!).

Beginner's Patchwork Workshop every Friday 10.00 to 12.30 at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery



Since Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery opened on the 10th of October, the Friday morning Beginner's Patchwork class has been very popular.

Each week teaches a new technique and you don't need to have been at a previous class to come along. Each class teaches you all you need to know to complete a 12.5inch block.

On Friday 4th November these beginners laid out the blocks they have made so far to see how things are progressing.

Things are looking very good indeed! It's very satisfying to see such pleasing results after such a short amount of time.

If you would like to join in with these classes, just call 087 6193870 or email esterkiely@gmail.com to book your place.
