Ceadogán Rugmakers Media Launch for Charity ISLAND Project

We had a wonderful media launch for Island by Ceadogán.

The project featured a collection of Ireland's leading artists who all designed a handmade bespoke rug. The finished pieces are to be auctioned-off with proceeds going toward the Peter McVerry Trust and to support a a regenerative wildlife project at the site of Ceadogán studios on Bannow Bay, Co. Wexford.

The exhibition took place at the Hang Tough Contemporary gallery on Dublin's Exchequer Street.

The project earned widespread media coverage including a feature on RTE Nationwide, Interview on Newstalk 106 and features in all of the national printed press included Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Business Post, Independent and Sunday Independent.

Huge congrats to Ceadogán team: Colm, Martina, Jenny & Chris.
