A friend of mine has self-published some fantastic illustrative books to help children understand other children who have sensory perception disorder (Autism). She is self-promoting these books at present and would love to reach a wider audience.. The Tony the Turtle books are beautifully produced and really relevant in today’s world. Oh and an excellent stocking filler…

Some of the Edge Only collection.

Irish-made jewellery for the gnarly leather-clad headbanger within us all.

Canada-born DJ and designer Jenny Huston writes:

The impetus to start Edge Only came about in February of this year when I was designing a ring that I wanted my Mother [Jane Huston – a designer goldsmith and gemmologist] to make for me. I was describing it and sketching it badly (I don’t have her gift for drawing) and then started talking excitedly about all of the other things I thought would be cool to make down the line. Mum gave me an amused look and said “Jenny you seem to know what you want so why don’t you design a collection? Seriously – it’s not like you don’t know any goldsmiths!”

She had a good point. Mum moved back to Ireland in 1993 to set up and run the Crafts Council of Ireland’s Jewellery Skills Course, so she had been training goldsmiths in Ireland for over 17 years before finishing up to focus on her own work. I had a pool of skilled talent that I could work with here.

Before long I had enough designs to start with and the idea became real. I signed up for the Start Your Own Business course with the Dublin City Local Enterprise Office and the Enterprise Start2 course though the Dublin Business Innovation Centre . I took various other one-day and half day courses throughout March and April and crammed in as much knowledge as possible while designing and working on prototype designs with Mum.

I worked with AAD design studio on the visual identity over the summer as the master models were finalized and then the website went live on September 15. Rock & Roll and Geometric were my first collections (there had to be a nod to music in there somewhere!). I waited to formally launch the company 6 weeks later on October 29 with a further two collections Everyday Icons and Bugs (as well as further additions to the Rock & Roll and Geometric collections (All available at link below)…

We have two great stocking fillers this year which are both raising funds for the Student Union charities: Console and BeLonG To. We have a 2015 Calendar or a set of 12 Postcards both featuring winning entries from the highly successful Capture Your Campus photo competition which was held at NUI Galway. They are a fiver each and all the money goes to charity as Standard Printers were really sound and printed them all for free for us! Both items can be purchased from the SU Shop or office and they can also be ordered online here:.

“I am a [Limerick-based] qualified Interior Architect but turned full time mammy just over two years ago. I have always had an interest in jewellery making and design which led me to recently discover metal stamping. Since taking up stamping I have ventured outside of the box of just jewellery making and now enjoy making all sorts of Stamped metal items .
I have been working on a range of stamped Christmas tree decorations which i think would be an ideal candidate for your ‘Irish-made stocking filler’ feature. These can be personalised with any wording required provided that it fits on the piece. If you wish to see more of my work or would like an order to be delivered they can check out my Facebook (below).
