We are a community minded social enterprise, established by makers for makers, from learner to professional. 

• We engage in training and contract work, and advocate for maker-based enterprises and product design across Ireland through our shared ethos:

• Provide open, inclusive access to high-quality creative workshop environments with professional tooling and teaching

• Be inspirational to the next generation of crafters, culinary artists and makers through good practice, access to well-respected teachers/makers and previous and ongoing experience of awards, exhibitions and private collectors

• Show the importance of craft and cookery in the modern age, using heritage hand skills, seasonal produce, ethically sourced materials and the importance of the circular economy

• Promote development of relationships with other schools both in Ireland and overseas, allowing access to teaching from international makers and national and international residencies

• Be involved in the growth and recognition of arts, crafts and making for the island of Ireland; showcasing homegrown talents, nurturing new talents and building the best examples of professional teaching practice
