Kilkenny Design Centre

Across the street from Kilkenny Castle in the Parade are the old stables, now housing the Kilkenny Design Centre. Here can be found a variety of Irish products (textiles, jewellery, glass, ceramics, etc.) And craftsmen can be seen at work. Their designs are used throughout Ireland. It is impressive that many artists make use of Celtic designs, for example, illumination from the Book of Kells.

The Kilkenny Design Workshops, located at Setanta Centre near Nassau Street, is the leader in presenting the best of Irish workmanship and design. Key features include Graphics, Simon Pearce's hand-blown glass, ceramics, Luma rugs, home boutique, and more.
