Next up we have Rosemarie Ryan from Rambling Rose

Having studied Product Design at college, Rosemarie came to Kilkenny Design Workshops as a trainee model-maker in the industrial design department and has worked in that capacity for many years. These days she also puts her varied skills to use working on special commissions, creating and having a particular interest in antiques and collectables, she restores, up-cycles and curates an eclectic mix of items. She recently opened her workshop to the public where you can view her activities and browse the stock of her quirky little shop.
