Makers and supporters gathered for an evening of conversation celebrating the vibrancy of Irish design and craft …
Form & Fable is a carefully curated pop-up shop celebrating the best of Irish craft and design at Wilton Park, Dublin 2. Curated by J Hill’s Standard – the internationally renowned Irish glassware company – and presented in partnership with IPUT Real Estate, the store showcases the work of 40 Ireland-based makers and runs until December 21.

Form & Fable introduces new designs in ceramics, crystal, textiles, homewares and print, including limited-edition pieces and one-off works created especially for the pop-up. A programme of workshops and events invites visitors to meet makers, explore their processes, and immerse themselves in the creativity, skill and community at the heart of Ireland’s thriving craft and design sector.
