💖Applications for our annual Artisan Christmas Market will open next month. ⏰

(**POST EDIT** Date is Friday 4th not the 5th as per original post)

Share or tag a friend who may be interested. If you would like to register your interest in joining us this year please send us an email on [email protected], we'll send you all the details when we have finalised the T&Cs by the start of August.

We will return to The Den again this year (The Melmount Centre, Melmount Rd, Strabane) with a change of format this time having a late evening 'Winter Sunset Artisan Market' on Fri 4th December from 5-9pm.
🎄We will have musicians providing ambient background music to help create our peaceful festive atmosphere, with a seated area if you want to take 5mins from shopping & have a cuppa
🎄Skilled traditional makers providing interactive demos, keeping old traditions alive and passing on skills
🎄Space for 30 traders/makers
🎄Of course no event is complete without Santa and space for family photo opportunities!

We would love to hear from all quality makers, artists, designers & foodies (with some space outside for food trucks). Tables are £25, spaces are limited so there will be an application process and criteria to meet. We want to ensure there is a broad selection of crafts for visitors and allow each crafter to have a good chance of sales for their chosen craft.

All of the products must be;

Hand-made by the maker & of their own design
Show a high level of skill in design & manufacture
Finished to a high standard
With each maker required to have Public Liability insurance and food certification if applicable.

We look forward to hearing from you & save the date in your diary!

Local ladies create magical pieces of Art.
Many thanks to Women's Collective Ireland-Donegal, Wci Donegal Danielle Bonner ETB for facilitating this 4 week course. All copper sheeting was 3 gauge , once the ladies had completed either high relief/ low relief the images were polished and cleaned. Then kiln fired and placed in natural environmentally friendly "acid" fumes for the darker lines/patenia to develop. The craic was mighty and these ladies and their talents unquestionably brilliant.

I'd really like to invite people to support this incredible charity by purchasing artwork that inspires,uplifts, and gives back. Every piece sold helps fund important work & supports children and families who truly need it.
Buying from the Incognito 2026 collection is more than decoration - it's an act of kindness.

🎨 We are absolutely thrilled to see so many people loving this year’s 10th Anniversary incognito collection and so many original artworks finding new homes!!🧡

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported the sale so far. Every artwork purchased helps fund vital in-home nursing and respite care for Jack and Jill families across Ireland. ✨

To keep the momentum going and to help fund even more hours of care for families! We’re delighted to announce that the incognito sale will remain open over the weekend, giving you more time to browse the remaining artworks at your leisure and secure a piece you love. 🤗

⏰ The sale will now close at midday on Monday, with artist identities revealed at 2pm.

👉 Visit incognito.ie for more information and to explore the collection.

The collection is now Live!
Absolutely delighted to be taking part in this fantastic fundraiser.
Go to www.incognito.ie to see all the beautiful artworks, from so many talented artists.
