Guinness Storehouse unveils new hand-crafted Christmas experience

The Guinness Storehouse is being turned into a winter wonderland this Christmas. Woven In Tradition features over 1,000 unique decorations, designed by textile artist and designer, Áine Byrne, woven by Botany Weaving Mill and hand-crafted by a collective of skilled Irish designers and tailors from Dublin. The experience runs until January 5.

Visitors can also expect to a new pub installation on Level 4. Snug Nollaig will feature an interactive storyteller, reminiscing on how Guinness has shaped the Liberties and surrounding areas through spoken word and song.

"There is so much creativity and talent in Dublin 8, and it’s been a joy to work so closely with the team from Botany Weaving Mill and the community of tailors, designers and makers to produce something special for the Home of Guinness," said Byrne.

"This project began by drawing inspiration from the rich textile history in the Liberties, Drawing inspiration from the iconic silhouette of the pint and famous Guinness harp to patterns informed by a variety of sources including the Archives, the Harp and the Guinness Storehouse architecture. We wanted to capture the magic of Guinness & Christmas in Ireland and create some playful and colourful icons that are perfect for every Guinness lovers Christmas tree this year.”
