I will be hosting a stall again this year at the Dock arts center in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim. I will be bringing some new crafts, ceramic frames, some new jewellery pieces and Christmas watercolours. Do pop by and say hello :) the market will be taking place over the first weekend of December on the 3rd and 4th. Here is the details:

 

Get all of your Christmas Presents & Holiday Decorations in a Toasty Festive Atmosphere!

In perfect time for Christmas shopping we will host our traditional Winter Market at the Dock featuring an exciting mix of local fine art and design, affordable artisan crafts, delicious cuisine, mulled wine and more. Our stall holders are local artists, crafters and makers so you can shop with a clear conscience and support local business and the arts at the same time.

The Market will take place on Saturday the 3rd of December from 10 am - 5 pm and Sunday 4th of December from 12 - 5 pm.

Music will echo through the lobby on both days with a festive choir singing holiday tunes on Saturday afternoon and the Leitrim Light Orchestra playing on Sunday. There will also be pop-up workshops and winter wonderland treats.

Living Off The Grid in Leitrim

Towards the end of October we had The Irish Times visit our home and studio to do a little lifestyle piece about living off-grid, here is a rare glimpse of my home life here in Co. Leitrim where I live in Ireland with my family. We live off-grid which means we are independent from the electrical power grid and self sufficiently generate all our power.
