Step into the rich history and intricate beauty of crochet and cross-stitching with our resident artisan, Liv. This captivating demonstration unveils the story of crochet, introduced in Ireland as a famine relief scheme in the mid-nineteenth century.

Within a few short years, the craft was taught across the country, transforming women and children into skilled artisans whose work reached markets in Dublin, London, Paris, Rome, and New York.
