We work with artists, designers, architects and crafts-people to develop projects examining housing, civic infrastructure and the commons, engaging people with the spaces and places we live in.
Making
PrintBlock relocated to Workhouse Union in 2020; it operated as a collective in Dublin since 2010 – with a shared vision to develop the Irish textile printing industry. We are reimagining the textile screen printing studio within the broader Callan and Kilkenny creative ecology – opening up the studio to designers, artists, craftspeople, community groups and social enterprise opportunities.
