There was a mix of new and returning exhibitors at the annual Christmas Fair that took place on Wednesday 13th December at the VTOS Centre Waterford Road, Kilkenny from 10am to 1pm. It was home to over 20 exhibitors who displayed a wide range of products to include Christmas decorations, woodcarving pieces, ceramics, art, locally produced jams and jellies, Christmas cards, jewellery, wreaths and a wide range of some unique Christmas gifts or stocking fillers. There was some fabulous photographs on sale and a myriad of other items, including technical advice from Sean Nikken.
Tea, coffee, mince pies and treats all added to the festive atmosphere, and the launch of the calendar “A year in motion” led by Frances Doyle (Start your own Business teacher).
It was a great opportunity to catch the bug of face to face selling and attendees were very supportive, it was a showcase of magnificent talent, skill and artistry, and allowed visitors to purchase a wide range of unique gifts. Attendees included Martha Bolger, Director of FET with KCETB and Bernadette O Rourke, Adult Education Officer with KCETB.
Commenting on the morning’s success, Geraldine Moran thanked KCETB for its support for the programme and her dedicated team of teachers who ensured the morning was a great success. She thanked Sean Lawless, and Charlotte Beattie for all their help during the morning and wished all the emerging artists much success in their future endeavours.
