OUR YEAR 2016 

2016 has been an exciting and busy year.
Here's an insight to our last few months.
Looking forward to 2017.


JULY 2016
In July we expanded the studio and relocated to Lady’s Lane in the heart of the Georgian Quarter, with an additional photographic studio.  All the work is handcrafted in the new studio, from the initial design and making to the hand dying, our product is truly unique and special to the city of Limerick.

SEPTEMBER 2016
In September we presented our project Felt in The City on Culture Night, where we held an exciting workshop on Nicholas Street in collaboration with St. Mary’s AID. The project proved a huge success with both locals and visitors to the street.




 
SEPTEMBER 2016
Earlier in the month, Kate Ramsey, the designer behind Kate Ramsey Artisan Accessories, paid a visit to the offices of the Kieran O'Hanlon, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick.  
Kate introduced her current season designs, including the beautiful Silk and Wool Leaf Scarf that takes it inspiration from the shores of the River Shannon. “I love the beauty of the river, especially at full tide, one could skate out on the still surface. It’s so wonderful to see the local boats gliding by shadowed by the majestic cityscape of Limerick. It is, truly, a unique urban experience”. Kate took the opportunity to discuss her proposed plans to open a retail shop and studio on Nicholas Street in collaboration with her new PR/Social Media Manager and Photographer, Deirdre Power. “It has been a long term ambition of mine to locate to Nicholas Street."

August 2016
During a recent visit to the Island of Rhodes, Deirdre Power presented the stunning black leaf scarf to Agapi Kalomiri. “I was wearing the scarf at an event to mark a memorial for my aunt Theresa, who had died tragically, along with two of her friends on the island in 1972. Agapi admired the scarf, remarking on the colour and texture …sure I had to give it to her”
