Every Tuesday morning from 10.30 to 12.30 there's an open invitation to all local crafters to bring along a current project and share ideas and chat over a cuppa. This week we had some knitting, crochet and patchwork around the table. And newcomer Noreen brought along some lovely crochet books and showed this crochet case she recently made to hold crochet hooks. All very inspiring. Why not join us next Tuesday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And speaking of crochet....watch this space as we'll be announcing some cool crochet classes in the coming weeks as soon as dates are finalised. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/189788629146684727-486333801616213679?l=legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/486333801616213679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2012/01/crafty-mornings-every-tuesday-at-le-gra.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/486333801616213679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/486333801616213679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2012/01/crafty-mornings-every-tuesday-at-le-gra.html' title='&quot;Crafty Mornings&quot; every Tuesday at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery'/><author><name>Ester Kiely</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04864879538207430991</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iSv7P2ug92I/S2qQsBLG2kI/AAAAAAAAAPI/4FxSlHN6PmI/S220/Dec+2009+Xmas+day+dinner+(7)+-+Copy.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yq2qEodBpLU/Txi4RDVOmHI/AAAAAAAAA-4/TwTtV35knpg/s72-c/Jan%2B18%2B2012%2BCrafty%2Bmorning%2BNoreen%2BKing.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189788629146684727.post-519126197348981403</id><published>2012-01-16T21:03:00.002Z</published><updated>2012-01-16T21:13:39.193Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='feltmaking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kathrina Hughes'/><title type='text'>Kathrina Hughes: felt brooches, keyrings, hairslides, neck wraps and scarves</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rYkOaIUsCkY/TxSRH17WIpI/AAAAAAAAA-s/8CQXAeeGbWM/s1600/Jan%2B2012%2B%252828%2529.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698338992451625618" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rYkOaIUsCkY/TxSRH17WIpI/AAAAAAAAA-s/8CQXAeeGbWM/s400/Jan%2B2012%2B%252828%2529.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We have a wonderful mix of colourful felt accessories by Kathrina Hughes at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery.

Each class teaches you all you need to know to complete a 12.5inch block. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday 4th November these beginners laid out the blocks they have made so far to see how things are progressing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are looking very good indeed! It's very satisfying to see such pleasing results after such a short amount of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to join in with these classes, just call 087 6193870 or email esterkiely@gmail.com to book your place. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/189788629146684727-315795950902836219?l=legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/315795950902836219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2011/11/beginners-patchwork-workshop-every.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/315795950902836219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/315795950902836219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2011/11/beginners-patchwork-workshop-every.html' title='Beginner&apos;s Patchwork Workshop every Friday 10.00 to 12.30 at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery'/><author><name>Ester Kiely</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04864879538207430991</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iSv7P2ug92I/S2qQsBLG2kI/AAAAAAAAAPI/4FxSlHN6PmI/S220/Dec+2009+Xmas+day+dinner+(7)+-+Copy.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oe_1A2R_9og/TrcMOtzhmXI/AAAAAAAAA7A/sjhE-ScCQ1M/s72-c/Patchwork%2BClasses%2BFriday%2B4th%2B%25282%2529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189788629146684727.post-4035997629068539229</id><published>2011-11-03T23:41:00.004Z</published><updated>2011-11-03T23:54:34.698Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr. K.

Simon Howell and Susie Cuthill tell us more about their craft:&lt;br /&gt;"We have always shared a passion for arts and crafts. After giving-up our careers back in 2008, we took up residence on the stunning North-coast of Northern Ireland and explored everything from ceramics to illustration. In 2009, we brought our 'good life' back to the city of Belfast and after the birth of our first child; we finally decided to follow our passion for textiles and fibre art. In 2010 we started Teddy Baby, our hand-spun wool and knit-wear business.&lt;br /&gt;What makes Teddy Baby so unique is that we spin our own wool, a technical skill that is rarely seen or even spoken of toady, but we are passionate about keeping it alive. The art of spinning wool is also an important part of Northern Ireland’s heritage and runs in our family.&lt;br /&gt;We are part of the new generation of traditional craft makers striving to maintain a link to our cultural heritage, while exploring the possibilities of the medium within contemporary fashion, arts and crafts. It is important to us that while maintaining tradition in the artistic process, that the final design is fashionable and reflects us as designer/makers."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/189788629146684727-4522831832168737323?l=legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/4522831832168737323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2011/10/le-gra-craft-studio-and-gallery-now-has.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/4522831832168737323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/4522831832168737323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2011/10/le-gra-craft-studio-and-gallery-now-has.html' title='Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery now has some wonderful knitwear by Teddy Baby'/><author><name>Ester Kiely</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04864879538207430991</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iSv7P2ug92I/S2qQsBLG2kI/AAAAAAAAAPI/4FxSlHN6PmI/S220/Dec+2009+Xmas+day+dinner+(7)+-+Copy.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2iUWqBv8RxE/TpTEMMubA_I/AAAAAAAAAvo/JjUlDrzCEzI/s72-c/airofull.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189788629146684727.post-3018162287347259117</id><published>2011-10-10T18:54:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-10T19:02:02.710+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Galway Craft Month'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Helen Griffin Ceramics'/><title type='text'>Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery presents Helen Griffin Ceramics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OD9fegNTKf4/TpMxpE9tgrI/AAAAAAAAAuc/tfW2xaMonA8/s1600/068.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661923738311819954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OD9fegNTKf4/TpMxpE9tgrI/AAAAAAAAAuc/tfW2xaMonA8/s400/068.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KFxv0bLoDS8/TpMxoygXZDI/AAAAAAAAAuU/wKVK9UNC7fs/s1600/043.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 302px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661923733356897330" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KFxv0bLoDS8/TpMxoygXZDI/AAAAAAAAAuU/wKVK9UNC7fs/s400/043.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zEfjpYnabvo/TpMxonCoDXI/AAAAAAAAAuM/OIyoB7f6hdI/s1600/022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661923730279370098" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zEfjpYnabvo/TpMxonCoDXI/AAAAAAAAAuM/OIyoB7f6hdI/s400/022.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Helen Griffin Ceramics based in Gort, Co.

I studied Art and Design, and Textiles, and at the age of 17 years I discovered Pottery and went on to study A' levels in the subject, and I was hooked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went on to an Art Foundation Course, specializing in Sculpture where we were encouraged to be as adventurous as we liked. I started my Degree Course in Wood, Metal, Glass, and Ceramics at Manchester Metropolitan University, but missed the Art College vibe, and so went on to begin my Second Year at The Kent Institute of Art and Design, and felt totally at home. It was in my final year that I began working with Porcelain and my Smocked fabrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 3D Design- Ceramics, and like many Art Graduates joined the 9-5 workforce and held numerous positions in Window Dressing, Secretarial, and lastly working my way up the career ladder in Healthcare management, but never feeling totally full-filled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007 my new husband and I decided to move to Ireland to pursue our dreams and seek a better quality of life, where I continued to develop my Impressed ranges while working Part- time. Although it has sometimes been frustrating to start a new life and career, I have found the support in Ireland for a new Crafts person much greater than that of the UK. I finally began to purse my passion full time in 2010 and now make beautiful and useful items every day, and have never been so happy in my job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name Living Ginger designs, was adopted from my late mother (a Potter too, based in Co. Clare) Pottery name and as a tribute to her. It was originally inspired by that of Jack. B Yeats "creativity and exuberance being the living ginger of life". Living Ginger Designs workshop is based in Oughterard, the Gateway to Connemara.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/189788629146684727-5979625330018702439?l=legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/5979625330018702439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2011/10/featured-artist-louise-browne-of-living.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/5979625330018702439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/189788629146684727/posts/default/5979625330018702439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://legracraftstudioandgallery.blogspot.com/2011/10/featured-artist-louise-browne-of-living.html' title='Featured Artist: Louise Browne of Living Ginger Designs'/><author><name>Ester Kiely</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04864879538207430991</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iSv7P2ug92I/S2qQsBLG2kI/AAAAAAAAAPI/4FxSlHN6PmI/S220/Dec+2009+Xmas+day+dinner+(7)+-+Copy.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-28kt5rtSXqU/To4yBEXXzgI/AAAAAAAAAt0/Qt9pRfRNHqM/s72-c/le%2BGr%25C3%25A1%2Bset%2Bof%2B3%2Bboxes%2B1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189788629146684727.post-877519660161968970</id><published>2011-09-22T19:54:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-22T19:59:41.382+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='workshops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Galway Craft Month'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft retail'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery'/><title type='text'>Galway Craft Month Brochures include details of events at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-50X-GmqtZHI/TnuEcw2lSkI/AAAAAAAAAs8/8_PmEP1nnRc/s1600/Galway_craft_insert_proof.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
