254: Ireland Week: Gallerist Mary Gallagher on the state of craft in Ireland

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Mary Gallagher. She opened the Blue Egg Gallery in Wexford in 2011 and shows a variety of craft artists from Ireland and abroad. In our interview we talk about the Norman history of Wexford, the state of craft in Ireland and how she uses large art fairs, like Ceramic Art London, to help her curate shows for the gallery. For more information on the Blue Egg Gallery visit www.blueegggallery.ie.
