The Malthouse is a unique destination in Dublin City where Designers and Makers Create. There is a cluster of Architects, Interior Designers, furniture and lighting designers along with other creative people working along side each other, bouncing ideas in a vibrant atmosphere. From a design concept they develope their idea into a working business opportunity.
Based on the North Circular Road, beside Croke Park, The Malthouse offers studio spaces with back up workshop spaces for small scale businesses looking to establish themselves. The structure of the centre enables designers to support each other, along with mentoring they receive from established designers and business people Greg Tisdall Arthur Duff and Rosemary Ryan.
There is a retail opportunity for the members of the Malthouse to Showcase their products in the Showroom of The Malthouse, a beautifully renovated old mill. There their merchandise can be tested as the public and potential buyers are invited from home and abroad.

The Contemporary Glass Society is inviting anyone working with glass to apply for selection for a world-class exhibition close to the Olympic venues in London. The deadline is 24 February 2012.
Glass can be fragile, but more fragile still is the future of the UK’s ancient glassmaking traditions. As colleges close their glass courses, it’s becoming harder for would-be glass designers and craftspeople to learn the skills of this alchemical art.
The Contemporary Glass Society, which works to keep UK glassmaking alive, is going all out this summer to put glass on the map – a nationwide festival of exhibitions, workshops and happenings that will capture the Olympic spirit and bring the magic of glass to more people than ever before.
The centre-piece of the programme will be ‘Glass Games 2012‘ a world-class exhibition close to the Olympic venues in London, which will bring together the very best in contemporary glass, art and design.
Anyone working with glass can apply for selection, and the deadline is February 24. Application forms and more details are available from glassgames2012@gmail.com.
‘We currently have a duty to support Irish designers and makers. However, this is not a difficult task, I have always believed that the creative mind responds best in difficult circumstances, and an unlikely symptom of our economic climate is the burgeoning wealth of world class fashion being produced out of Ireland at the moment.’ Sonya Lennon, Patron , Made in Ireland Project
Deadline for Applications: Friday February 17th 2012.
Applications need to be posted (or dropped in) to Re-dress HQ and cannot be accepted by e-mail. To get an Application Form and more details about members benefits email info@madeinirelandproject.com
Are you interested in getting your products onto the high street for minimum cost? If “yes” then read on.
Ann Ryan is currently working on a concept that will enable small craft industries sell their products on the high street without the high costs associated with long term leases and store fit-outs. We are looking at units in the Whitewater Shopping Centre, Newbridge, Co Kildare
Their package includes the following:
• Minimum 4 week lease.
• Store fit-out to include display wall shelving, cash desk and branding.
• Both newspaper and radio advertisement campaign before and during the trading term.
• Full deep clean of store when the term of lease expires.
• Maintenance support for the duration of the lease.
Providing a short term lease would remove stress and let you concentrate on your business. Would this be of interest to you!
