Bodil Andersen was a textile designer at the Kilkenny Design Workshops (KDW) during the late 1960s and created some beautiful pattern with fantastic use of colour and geometric shapes. Surely these beauts would have 'guest towel' status 😁 More of Bodil's work can be viewed on The National Irish Visual Arts Library (NIVAL) archive.

Award-winning photographer, filmmaker and Kilkenny's own son Richard Mosse's new exhibition 'Tristes Tropiques' showcases a series of large-scale photographic maps documenting the impact of fires that ravaged the Amazon following years of deforestation. Using geographic information system (GIS) technology, Mosse processed thousands of images captured above each site by drone to create staggering images that highlight areas of environmental impact. Richard Mosse: Tristes Tropiques is at Jack Shainman Gallery, New York City, from 8 April to 15 May. 👏👏👏 (Image credit: Richard Mosse and Jack Shainman Gallery)

The morning is most definitely the best part of these days. A morning stroll, especially along the River Nore, is just the thing to get the creative juices going and set up for the day 😙

There is so much fantastic Irish craft and design available to view on the National Irish Visual Arts Library. We found some gorgeous work by the Irish sculptor Oisín Kelly who is best known for his public sculptures, notably the Children of Lir (1971) and the Larkin statue (1979) in Dublin and the Two Working Men, at County Hall, Cork. In 1964, he was appointed artist in residence at the newly-founded Kilkenny Design Workshops.

'March roars in like a lion, so fierce, the wind so cold, it seems to pierce. The month rolls on, and Spring draws near, and March goes out, like a lamb so dear.' We're nearly there! Looking forward to eating lunch al fresco in the Rose Garden of Kilkenny Castle again 😎 🌻.

There are so many little nooks and hidden locations among Kilkenny's lanes and city walls. A perfect example of this is the Heritage Council Garden located on Church Lane, near to the beautiful St Canices Cathedral. Mature trees encircle the landscaped garden, a fab find on a summer's day and something to look forward to 😎

Under the bridge downtown...what a lovely and not often seen view of our very own St. Canice's Cathedral. The 13th-century Catherdral links directly to Kilkenny Castle via Medieval Mile. It's also a gorgeous venue for many concerts during and of course the infamous Round Tower - one of the only two round towers in the country that people may climb.

As part of our retrospective series, this is the logo designed for John England Textiles by the Kilkenny Design Workshop. The logo was designed circa 1980 and is still in use by the company today. The beauty of this identity is the organic shape created by the piece of fabric string to create that wonderful 'e' shape. ❤️

Over the last few weeks, we've looked at some of the most iconic logos that are part of Ireland's collective history of graphic design for our 'throwback Thursdays'. The Kilkenny Design Workshops (KDW) were a government-funded R&D centre of excellence for design established in 1963. The old stable block at Kilkenny Castle was acquired and converted, opening in 1965 with five workshops. The original emphasis was on craft-based industries but expanded to include graphic, industrial and product design.
