Art shopping in Dublin

  1. A

    Tower Craft Design Centre

    Housed in a 19th-century warehouse that was Dublin’s first iron-structured building, this design centre has studios for local craftspeople. They produce jewellery in both contemporary and Celtic-inspired designs, and work with Irish pewter, ceramics, silk and other fabrics. Besides jewellery they knock out pottery, rugs, wall hangings, cards, leather bags and various other handcrafted items. It’s immediately opposite the Waterways Visitors Centre, off Lower Grand Canal St.

    Blarney Woollen Mills

    This is the Dublin branch of the best-known Irish shop in the country – the actual mills are located in County Cork, within sight of the famous castle and its gab-bestowing rock. This branch shouldn’t disappoint, with a particularly wide range of cut crystal, porcelain presents and its trademark woolly things.

    Crafts Council Gallery

    One of several craft shops in the Powerscourt building, this gallery has a fine selection of glassware, pottery and jewellery, although you’ll need a flexible credit card.

    Knobs & Knockers

    Replica Georgian door-knockers are highly recommended as a great souvenir of your Dublin visit, but there are plenty of other souvenir door adornments to look at here.
