Irish Design Week 2025 – Panel Discussion – Creative Links
Join us for a panel discussion with local makers on the value of creative linkages across disciplines.
Taking inspiration from this year’s Irish Design Week theme “Ties that tie, links that link”, we’ll bring together four local makers and designers to explore how collaborations across disciplines can spark stronger work and create a wider impact.
We invite our panelists to reflect on how collaborations have occurred across ideas, disciplines, generations, and geographies. How has their work been shaped by these interactions? And, what impacts have they experienced both on their own practice and the audiences they engage with?
Panelists:
Alex Thiel – Goldsmith
Maeve Lynch – Visual Artist
Mary Palmer – Textile Artist
Anthony Aylward – Furniture Maker
As a shared creative facility for woodwork, jewellery, digital fabrication, and more, Benchspace Cork is built on the very ethos of connection and collaboration. This even will highlight that spirit, with panelists from diverse creative backgrounds unpacking how partnerships and experimentation lead to greater results.
The evening begins with drinks, nibbles, and the chance to mingle with Cork’s vibrant creative community – followed by an engaging panel conversation you won’t want to miss.
