Great news. I've just found out that I've been short listed for the Institute of Designers Ireland Graduate Awards in the Craft and Furniture category. The awards are on November 5th so I will have my fingers crossed until then! http://www.idi-design.ie/awards/graduate/shortlist/ #IDI #InstituteofdesignersIreland #institutedesignersireland #dublin #id2015 #design #IrishDesignAward #shortlist #shortlisted #shortlisted #prize #JakiCoffey #craftandfurniture #jaki #jackiecoffee #

I'm taking part in a very cool exhibition called Wunderkammer:Heritage in the making. It is a specially commissioned cabinet of curiosities in Ireland's oldest public library, Marsh's library. It opens today, is curated by Shane O'Donoghue and Simon Doyle. Supported by Design & Crafts Council of Ireland and Heritage Week. http://www.irishdesign2015.ie/programme/single/wunderkammer-heritage-in-the-making #DCCoI #Heritageweek #Wunderkammer #cabinetofcuriosities #MarshsLibrary #

I'm delighted to say that I won the student award for Exhibition/Trade Fair for the Design and Craft Council of Ireland's Future Maker awards. I will be using the €1000 to show my work at Sieraad, Amsterdam, in November so it will be a huge help. I'm so chuffed! http://www.futuremakers.ie/winners-of-the-future-makers-awards-supports-programme-2015-announced-2/ #NCAD #jakicoffey #irish #futuremakers #ID2015 #sieraad #amsterdam #jewellery #studiojewellery #award #prize #DCCoI
