Famous traditional arts and crafts of Ireland

Irish arts are world-famous, Irish crafts began as far back as the Stone Age when designs for the basket and textile weaving, pottery, metal and glass were created out of sheer necessity. Over the centuries, craft designs evolved, depending on changes in the political and economic climate. Rural craftspeople designed baskets for carrying turf from the bogs or eggs from the nest, iron pots to prepare Irish stew and pottery bowls and cups for serving. Meanwhile, Irish metal smithies made adornments ranging from a high king’s clock to simple clips for securing one’s wrap against the Irish chill.
The most famous one is probably the Kilkenny Design Centre in Kilkenny City.
Ireland’s striking landscapes and natural bounty have been the driving inspiration for generations of craftspeople
