JERPOINT GLASS FEATURED IN
LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2012 VIDEO
A Place To Gather is a 5 minute film about Irish
craft created by emerging Dublin based film producers Jamie & Keith,
which was launched during London Design Festival 2012. A Place to Gather is about an approach and craft’s
relationship to a wider culture. It is about a maker, a practical person
in an often bewildering world. It is about a person; rooted and aware,
drenched in the weather and materials of the land, part of a community,
local and global, hedgerows and cables, influenced from inside and out,
time’s power being respected and the materials’ better nature drawn
forth. It is about a holistic way of thinking, an approach that creates
objects of use - be that practical, emotional or intellectual. Objects
that hold the tactility of their construction and through their use add
value.
The video features Horizon Furniture, Studio Donegal,
Basketbarn, Jerpoint Glass and Derek Wilson Ceramics.
