Jerpoint Glass Studio is home to the magic of mouth-blown, hand-made and hand-finished glassware. Located within the charming, rural village of Stoneyford, Co. Kilkenny, the story of this family-run glassblowing studio began more than 40 years ago. Jerpoint Glass was established by Keith & Kathleen Leadbetter in 1979.

From humble beginnings, the couple started designing and hand making glassware from their country farmhouse. With family, friends, music, song and integrity for the craft at its core, Jerpoint is now known across the globe for its honest form and use of colour inspired by the Irish landscape. True to its roots, today, Jerpoint Glass Studio continues the craft of glass making with family, friends and the spirit of Ireland at its heart.

Their skill and passion for glass has now been passed onto their four children, who are all actively involved in the business. Rory has been a glass maker at Jerpoint for over a decade. He brings a new flamboyance in design that harmonises with the Jerpoint Tradition. Sally, Roisin and Eoghan are all involved in varying elements of the family business from design to marketing and sales. The Leadbetter Family have been making handmade glass from their studio for over forty years. With the unique Jerpoint coloured glass palette, Jerpoint will make a welcome addition to any home.

Rosemarie Durr Pottery
To quote Rosemarie

‘My hand thrown pottery range is created to be as useful as it is beautiful. Made from stoneware clay, each piece has a finish more akin to china – a finesse that makes them a joy to hold and to use. The distinctive power blue glaze of my signature Blue Range sits beautifully in both modern and traditional settings, and can make even the simplest meal into a special occasion.’

We agree wholeheartedly!

Founded in Galway in 2018 by Juan Sotoparra and Kerry Quinn, SKETCHICO reimagines iconic landmarks while celebrating the beauty of everyday moments.

The idea began at home, inspired by Kerry’s memories of summers in Blackrock, leaping from the Diving Tower with friends. What started as personal artwork soon drew interest from those who encountered the pieces, leading to prints created for friends, family, and a growing audience.

While Juan ran his architecture studio with Kerry as interior designer, SKETCHICO steadily evolved. With her background in start-ups, Kerry later took the lead on the business, aiming to grow the brand into a household name.

Each piece begins as a photograph, digitally transformed through colour refinement and simplification into a stylised digital painting. Printed using high-quality archival inks on art-grade paper, every SKETCHICO print is crafted in Ireland using materials sourced from Irish suppliers.

Carmel Grant is the designer behind the Colour & Style paper doll books. She is a digital artist based in Waterford City, Ireland.

During the first COVID-19 lockdown, Carmel found comfort in watching nostalgic films from the 1980s and 1990s. Inspired by childhood memories—and aware that families were adjusting to home learning and long days indoors—she began creating free printable paper dolls to spark creativity and fun.

The positive response from parents and children encouraged Carmel to keep designing. She loves creating these books, knowing they can give children a break from screens while inspiring imaginative, creative, and playful moments.

Her goal is simple: to bring a little joy, imagination, and nostalgia into children’s lives—one paper doll at a time!
