Publish Date: Thursday, 11 November 2004
A unique collection of hand-made craft and giftware from Tyrone and Donegal will be showcased together for the first time at a festive fare at the Radisson Hotel in Letterkenny on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th November.
Collectively known as ‘SPARK’, this distinctive compilation boasts the best of Ulster’s creative talent and offers something special for all tastes and interests, from one-off watercolours to the most wonderfully carved wooden gifts.
The collection will be open to the public on Saturday 13th from 11am – 8pm, and on Sunday 14th from 12noon – 6pm.
As well as enjoying some retail therapy, visitors will also be entertained by ‘Yella Fever’ children’s show on Saturday and the best of Irish traditional music on Sunday.
Mary Crooks, co-ordinator of the SPARK project in Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council is looking forward to the weekend’s events:
“I am confident the public will find that the wide range of truly personal gifts available within the SPARK collection meets their highest expectations. We all know how stressful the Christmas period can be, so I’d like to invite everyone to come along on Saturday or Sunday to view our collection where they are sure to find a range of exclusive gifts, all of which are ideal for exchanging with friends and family over the festive season.”
Shoppers will be wowed by the wide variety of exclusive gifts available on the day from Tyrone based Patlin Designs, Diane McCormick Ceramics, Frances Mayes Watercolours, Gazing Pool Designs, Fionnuala Eastwood Cards and Textiles, Away With The Fairies, Catherine Scott Ceramics, Mary Jackson Jewellery, Heraldic Craft (carved wood), Lisdoo Crafts (hand painted and wooden gift wear) and Artistic Hands (handmade paper and crafts).
