“LizzyC” Collectibles are now launched on my website, www.lizchristy.com , check it out!

I have made a selection of fun  sheep brooches and keyrings based on those woolly little girls of the Irish landscape.  There are the very cute white ones. And of course,  as I love the colours of the rainbow, I didn’t stay making only white sheep for long!  So now we have multicoloured flocks roaming the drumlin countryside around Swallow Studios!

LizzyC Sheep are available to buy directly from my website  using paypal, and I will mail worldwide. 

They are available in County Monaghan at Sulis Art & Craft Gallery in Carrickmacross and of course here at Swallow Studios in Annayalla, Castleblayney.

And around the country they are stocked at Joyce’s Crafts in Connemara, Adrigole Arts on the Beara Penninsula, Glengarriff Handcraft Center, Bunratty Weavers in the Folkpark, Bushmills Crafts in the center of Bushmills town,  An Tearmann in Kilcullen, Forget-me-Not in Donegal and the list of stockists is growing….

Meet The Maker at Louth Craftmark

Filed under: Craft, Design, Tourism, Travel — by swallowstudios @ 6:26 pm
Hi, I’d like to let you know about our ‘Meet the Maker Day’ which we are having on March 7th, at Louth Craftmark in the Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda.  The event will close the program for Enterprise Week 2009 in County Louth, and will take place from 10am to 6pm on Saturday March 7th.
Ask the makers about the processes involved in creating their work.
Find out information on learning a new skill.
Commission a special piece of Irish Craft.
Or avail of this opportunity to snap up a special, handcrafted bargain, directly from one of the makers, on the ONE DAY ONLY event!
This unique and interesting day will provide visitors with the opportunity to meet the enterprising designers and crafts people from Co Louth and the border counties, who not only showcase their work through Louth Craftmark, but who also make a living in a very creative and resourceful way, in the craft sector in Ireland. 
 I will be there along with many of the makers to chat about our craftwork and there will be plenty of specials on the day. Hope to see you there!
Liz
