Our
Story
The Local Hands Art and Craft studio and shop is located on the Main Street, Ballyshannon. We showcase a wide range of artists and crafters from the Northwest of Ireland. The space is also a studio so visitors can meet the artists themselves and see them at work. We cover a wide range of disciplines including woodturning, crocheting, silversmithing, glass blowing, pottery making, ceramic works, wood carving, shell crafting, resin art, weaving, jewellery making, soap making, painting, illustration and more. Our shop has a large collection of beautiful handmade Irish products, perfect for all occasions and places.
We are run as a collective of artists, makers and designers supporting and promoting each other’s work. If you want to apply to display your work or join our collective, just get in touch via Facebook. All decisions go to our committee.
All our products are unique Irish handmade products and with each purchase you are supporting homegrown local artists, crafters and makers from the Northwest of Ireland.
Local Hands is kindly supported by the Ballyshannon Regeneration Group and Forás na Gaeilge.
