• Crafts Council launches International Book

“The Irish Craft Portfolio book is already generating huge interest among
international galleries and collectors”, so said Des Doyle of the Crafts
Council of Ireland at the launch of Irish Craft Portfolio 2010 on Friday,
March 25th in the National Craft Gallery.

Threesixty worked closely with the Crafts Council of Ireland to design this
premium book which contains a beautiful and wide-ranging collection of the
best of Irish craft. Selected by an international panel, the work will be
showcased through the book to international galleries and collectors.

We see Irish craft at this level as a vital cultural asset, helping us to
position Ireland on an international stage as a country that produces highly
creative work with a distinctively Irish aesthetic.

We’ve been privileged to work with the Crafts Council of Ireland over a 10
year period, delivering a mix of strategic research and creative projects
with the objective of supporting the Irish craft sector.
