Bridge Street Studios will mark a major milestone on Saturday, 6 December, as it celebrates the 30th edition of its Annual Christmas Event, running from 10am to 5pm. To honour three decades of creative excellence, the studio will open the festive season with complimentary mulled wine and mince pies, along with up to 20% off purchases on the day.
Visitors can browse a beautiful collection of handcrafted art, textiles, and ceramics—perfect for thoughtful Christmas gifts. This year’s showcase features the work of resident artists, including painters Orla Barry, Suzanne Carroll, Cathy McKeown, and Orlaith Cullinane; textile artists Caóilfíonn Murphy O Hanlon, Fiona Quigley, and Rachel Tinniswood; and ceramicists Mary Cowan and Sarah McKenna.
“We absolutely love launching the Christmas season here at Bridge Street Studios,” says studio member Sarah McKenna. “The aroma of mulled wine and the chance to share our new creations with the community is something we look forward to every year. It’s a joy to celebrate three decades of creativity.”
