Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) National Design & Craft Gallery (NDCG) is delighted to present the opening of Past, Present – Future, Perfect, a Made Local exhibition by Cork Craft & Design (CCD) opening on Saturday 10th August as part of Kilkenny Arts Festival and running until 28th October 2024.

From traditional techniques to modern innovations, the pieces on display reflect the diversity and skill of 46 of the region’s makers. The exhibition showcases the talent and dedication of CCD members who have contributed to the vibrant craft community in Cork to produce locally made pieces. Each item tells a story – of the materials used, the process involved, and the artist’s vision.

Curated by Ava Hayes, the exhibition explores the intersection of time, history and future possibilities in celebration of fifteen years of CCD’s Cork Craft Month. The title suggests a reflection on how our past experiences shape our present reality and influence our aspirations for a better future.
