A group of craft makers from all parts of Donegal have formed a partnership to promote their own crafts and highlight the huge range of quality products handmade here in Donegal by small family businesses.
Working together as a non-profit group, they arrange craft fairs throughout the year and make a range of bespoke products for a wide variety of commercial customers, individual customers, and sales outlets.
The ‘Donegal Craftmakers, Partners in Craft’ are hosting a Christmas Fair in the Silver Tassie Hotel on Sunday 27th November 12.00 -4.00pm.
