JOINING IN on the cultural extravaganza set to take place across Irish Design Week, two arty events will be taking place on Shannonside.
Limerickโs contribution to the national design week, taking place from November 11 to 15, will be hosted by the Limerick School of Art and Design.
The โWonders of Woolโ workshop is set to invite emerging artists and designers to showcase their latest projects and pieces designed around Irish wool.
The Limerick School of Art and Design will also host a โDining and Designโ evening, which will see culturally curious guests take part in a three-course dinner complemented by talks relating to the experience of dining โ including architecture, interior design, ceramics, textiles, and furniture design.
The events are two among 40 taking place across Irish Design Week, exploring the theme of โImagination for Opportunityโ.
One of the objectives of this yearโs theme is innovating new solutions relating to the climate emergency, the housing crisis, and issues around social inclusion.
Each day of Irish Design Week will also feature a โDesign Diplomacyโ event, in which an Irish designer meets an international designer for a creative discussion. The concept was originally developed by Helsinki Design Week and brings together designers over a card game of questions.
The aim of Irish Design Week, organisers say, is to showcase Irelandโs strong history in design, highlighting โthe many facets of contemporary designโ.
A full run-down of the 40 events taking place nationally across Irish Design Week 2024 can be found on dcci.ie/whats-on/irish-design-week.
