    "Following on the success of the Craft Trail exhibition at Bloom 2008, the Crafts Council of Ireland's National Craft Gallery is planning an exhibition of outdoor work in the grounds of the Phoenix Park for the duration of Bloom 2009 (the show will also be featured in Castle Yard for the Kilkenny Arts Festival in August).  Last year’s event brought the work of 20 makers to an audience of over 50, 000 visitors.  This year we would like to showcase a small number of high-quality pieces to raise the profile of contemporary Irish craft with the Bloom audience.

The superb work of master craftspeople will be reflected in a series of unique large-scale sculptural pieces by seven selected designer-makers on exhibit at Bloom in a demonstration of how contemporary Irish craft can bring innovative beauty into a garden setting.  Visitors can view up close: a stylish and contemporary take on the garden swing by award-winning craft maker Garvan de Bruir; elegant ceramic bird tables by Gus Mabelson; a selection of large wood-turned pieces by Liam O’Neill; Louis Mulcahy’s dramatic oversized urns and flower-inspired works by ceramicists Adele Stanley and Michelle Maher and by glass artist Catherine Keenan."
