Christina Drennan · Visual Artist

Hi, I’m Christina Drennan, the hands and heart behind Irish Handmade.

I am a visual Irish artist based in Ireland, working mainly with textiles and a deep respect for the materials we often overlook. I use refashioned fabrics, woven wool, waste thread, and other preloved or leftover bits to create stitched wall art, handwoven scarves, and slow-made pieces that carry meaning.

Everything I make is built from what remains, layered with care, sustainability, and story. I believe in noticing the ordinary and making something quietly powerful from it.

Alongside my art practice, I also facilitate workshops in my local area, sharing what I’ve learned and learning just as much in return. Whether it’s peg loom weaving, slow stitching, or mindful making, I love creating space for people to explore their own creativity in a relaxed and welcoming way.

Made from what remains, honouring the overlooked and the ordinary.

Inspired by the world around me, I believe in creating without causing harm.
