Crafty News Desk

Greetings from the Crafty News Desk

As I am coming to the end of my 12 months tour of duty I would like to thank all of you for your news items and comments over the last year. 
If any of you are interested in taking over I would be more than happy to help in any way, even stay with you for the first few weeks.    All you really need is the information -  some of which comes from the rest of the group, some from trawling the internet, twitter, facebook and the news papers and some from tapping into weekly news sheets.  That's if for the Job Advertisement......

This week's mixed news bag:

There are a number of very interesting talks/demos happening in our museums over the next few months e.g. a talk from 2 of Ireland's jewellers on 2 July;  a tour of  Neillí Mulcahy's Fashion Designs on 8 July and a tour on the history of glassmaking on 5 August to name but a few - all at Collins Barracks.  Well worth a look as you never know what you might find there....  Museum
