One of the best parts of Dublin Maker is what happens after the festival. In the last few weeks we have visited some of our makers in their own workspaces (@farsetlabs - spot the Dublin Maker signage!)

A market stall under a large tent displays dozens of framed and unframed watercolour animal paintings, including dogs, foxes, cows, birds, and horses. Smaller prints and cards sit on tables and racks, and circular ornaments with animal illustrations hang on a stand. A person wearing a cap and patterned jacket browses on the right. The overall scene is colourful, busy, and creative.
