IDEATE is a multi-disciplinary mini- festival about making; it explores and celebrates craft, design and creativity through experimentation and collaboration and aims to build a community of practice actively engaged with innovation, technology and design. IDEATE has been devised and produced by the Crafts Council of Ireland and the National Craft Gallery to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Kilkenny Design Workshops, a visionary state- sponsored design agency set up in response to the 1961 Design in Ireland report. It is part of the Gathering Kilkenny 2013 programme. Ideate… Sponsors European Union European Regional Development Fund European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) / Europe and Wales Southern and Eastern Regional Assembly / Ireland Wales 2007–2013 Ireland’s EU Structural Funds Programmes 2007–2013 IDEATE has been fortunate to receive sponsorship and support from a number of Kilkenny-based businesses that share our focus on innovation, intelligence and quality. We are sponsored by AIB, who are committed to investing in creativity & innovation and are delighted to sponsor the Ideate Festival. Our accommodation partner is the beautiful Pembroke Hotel on Patrick Street, which has now developed a four-star business centre to match its luxury boutique hotel status – we loved their enthusiasm and lateral thinking in finding bespoke solutions to our event needs; similarly, Lemongrass restaurant on John’s Bridge rose to the challenge with their gorgeous Asian-fusion street food, created with locally-sourced natural produce by their talented Asian chefs – perfectly accompanied by Brewery Corner, Kilkenny’s craft beer pub in Irishtown; with a focus on locally produced, small Irish brewers, they serve only Irish beers and ciders from artisan brewers on draught, with a huge international selection of bottled beer.

In the 21st Century, user-focused design and shifts in technology are transforming the relationships between object, maker and user. Making Things explores those relationships from psychological, technological and creative perspectives.
