)) Cra f ts Counc i l of I re land STOPRESS APRIL 1999
Retirement of Terry Kelly as Chairperson of the Crafts Council
Terry Kelly, who was appointed as Chairperson of the CCol in 1996,
has retired a few months earlier than her full three year term in
order to concentrate on her studies at UCD. As a a "returnee" to
full-time graduate education Terry feels that she needs to give her
full and undivided attention to her coursework.
However, she retires with the knowledge that the key targets she
set for the Council at the start of her term have been achieved. By
building on the work of the 94/96 Board, the financial position of
the CCol has been secured, and the deficit which dogged the Council
in recent years has been removed. In addition, while she has been
in the Chair, full-time training has expanded into the west of
Ireland, a regional 'life long learning' project (Outreach) has
been introduced, and new linkages with Northern Ireland have been
built by the On the Border Project which has been a significant
success in the twelve border counties.
During her term, the criticism levelled by regional craftspeople
that the Council was only noticeable in Dublin and Kilkenny has
been positively responded to by these developments. At the same
time, the introduction of MediaStore has placed the crafts to the
fore of IT development, the consolidation of Council administration
in Kilkenny has provided a far more productive and effective
service to our industry, particularly in the Council's Information
Section, while the new alliance with DESIGNyard maintains a quality
CCol retail presence in the capital.
Both the staff and Board of the CCol would like to thank Terry
Kelly for her committed leadership of the Council. Her experience
and vision enabled a stable platform to be built on from which
future initiatives will continue to be launched in support of the
Irish craft industry as it faces the challenge of a new millennium.

Frances Ruane appointed as Chairperson Dr Frances Ruane has
recently been appointed
Chairperson of the Crafts Council of Ireland. Dr Ruane is a
lecturer in the History of Art and Design at the National College
of Art and Design, where her teaching has focussed on students of
graphic and industrial design, fashion, textiles and craft. Since
1980 she has been Art Advisor to AIB Bank, assisting in the
formation of their collection of modern Irish art and writing their
1986 and 1995 catalogues.
She has lectured and written widely on contemporary Irish art
and in 1982 published a book on the artist Patrick Collins. She was
a television presenter on the RTE arts programme, Exhibit A and,
more recently, on the first series of the interior design
programme, Beyond the Hall Door.
A new Three Year Strategic Plan for the Crafts Council of
Ireland The CCol Review of 1995, based on research amongst
craftspeople and craft organisations, created a strategic plan
which guided the Crafts Council over the past three year,
particularly in terms of regional activity and the expansion of
craft exhibitors at Showcase. As both the craft industry and CCol
face into a new century, it is time once again to revisit strategic
policy and amend it where necessary.
On this occasion the Board of the CCol has sought an external
and experienced consultant to conduct the research needed to inform
policy development. Commencements Ltd., a forward thinking
consultancy practice with considerable experience of research on
key issues relevant to micro, and small to medium enterprises, has
been appointed to advise and assist the Council in the preparation
of a new Three Year Strategic Plan.
Members of the CCol Register will have already been invited to
regional 'Focus' group meetings so that they can actively
contribute to policy creation. The Board of the Crafts Council of
Ireland thanks you for your support in this important process.

The Art of Gold: A Product Development Programme for New
Jewellery Design in 18ct Gold
The Crafts Council of Ireland, supported by the European Social
Fund and in association with a Gold Supplier, wish to encourage the
development of new designer jewellery using I8ct gold.
If you are interested in creating a new range or a new body of
work in 18 ct gold, this programme will be of interest to you -
organised to assist you to take your new product from design to
client.
Jewellers are invited to submit a tender to be selected as one
of the 6 jewellers who will participate in the Art of Gold. Each
successful participant will receive subsidies to a total value of
IR4700 towards the cost of raw materials (18 ct gold), consultancy,
product development, photography, marketing, participation at
specific trade fairs, point of sale and exhibition supports. Please
note that the final 6 candidates will each be required to
contribute IR 1500, which corresponds to approximately 20% of the
estimated product and marketing costs of the programme.
The outline timetable for this programme is April 1999 -June
2000. If you have not already received documentation by post, for
further information contact Anne Kennedy tel: 042 9373032 or 087
2478751.
Call for New product Contemporary Crafts on the Border is
offering support of up to 75% of development costs for new products
or product ranges created as a result of partnership between
designer/maker and manufacturing/industry. In addition, 50% of
photography costs can be applied for under the marketing section of
the programme.
Guest selectors are being invited to style the product ranges so
that that a strong visual presence with high quality work will be
promoted. Our first guest selector is Ruth Thorpe, Editor of Select
magazine. She will be involved in the selection and styling of the
first range of product that will be shown at Expo Ireland in
September 1999. Building on this other selectors are being invited
to work with Contemporary Crafts towards exhibiting at the New York
Contemporary Furniture Fair in 2000, Top Drawer and 100% Design,

US Trade Tariffs Press Release: US Trade Representative -
Wednesday 5 March 1999
The Office of the US Trade Representative announced that the US
Customs Services will begin "withholding liquidation" on imports
valued at over $500 million of selected products from the European
Union(EU), consistent with US rights under the WTO agreements.
Withholding liquidation imposes contingent liability for 100%
duties on affected products as of 3 March 1999. I January 1999 was
the deadline for the EU to implement a WTO-consistent banana
regime. The EU failed to honour this deadline, thereby entitling
the US to suspend tariff concessions as early as I February on
selected European products with the WTO's blessing.
The United States will refrain from collecting higher duties
until the release of the arbitrators final decision. When the
arbitration is complete, the US will assess 100% duties on selected
products imported as of 3 March as necessary to offset the harm to
US interests as determined by the arbitrators. This decision
affords the arbitrators time to complete their work, ensures that
the EU's failure to implement WTO rulings in accordance with WTO
time schedules is not without consequence, and will also prevent
surges in imports pending the completion of the arbitration
processing.
The product descriptions that are provided below are for the
convenience of the reader and are not intended to delimit in any
way the scope of the products that would be subject to increased
duties:
Folding cartons, boxes and cases of uncorrugated cardboard Bed
linen, not knit or crochet, printed, of cotton, not containing any
embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping or applique work,
not napped

Showcase Stopress from: Catherine Jordan, Showcase
Co-ordinator
New Jury System for the Crafts Council of Ireland By now you are
all familiar with the jurying system used by the Crafts Council of
Ireland for Showcase, MediaStore and the Retail Gallery. To make
things easier and more efficient for you we have now decided to
amalgamate the juries and hold two jury sessions per year: one in
the Spring and one in the Autumn.
Work submitted will first be juried for the new Crafts Council
Quality Mark which will now be a minimum requirement at any jury
session. Those juried successfully for the CCol Quality Mark may
then (at the same jury session) be juried for Showcase Village and
New Faces, the Retail Gallery and MediaStore.
A panel of jurors will also get together at Showcase to assess
work already in the Village and those displaying the Quality Mark
banner, to ensure that high standards are being maintained.
For our information sheet on jurying and the criteria, please
contact Joanna Quinn on 056 61804.
Quality Mark Stickers The new Quality Mark sticker was
introduced at Showcase 1999 and anyone holding a Quality Mark was
given a roll of stickers free of charge. If you are interested in
getting more 'Quality' stickers please contact Catherine Jordan on
Tel/Fax: 01-294 2574 for information on pricing and ordering
procedure. Pricing will depend on the quantity required.
note! Quality Mark stickers are only available to craftworkers
who have been successfully juried.
Stand Bookings Village booking forms have now been sent out.
Village exhibitors now have the opportunity to re-book a stand but
cannot guarantee its location for the moment although we will
endeavour to accommodate all requests.
The Concert Hall: The RDS are making some changes to the layout
of the Concert Hall and until we know how these changes will effect
stands we cannot issue floor plans or booking forms for this area.
We apologise for the delay.
Subsidies 1999 At Showcase 1999 a total of 122 stands were
subsidised by the Crafts Council. As promised, monies not dispensed
in subsidy were invested in intensive marketing of
all craft companies at the fair. This included the 'advertorial'
section in the newly designed catalogue, directional signage, a new
image for the Village and the new quality mark.
Subsidies for Showcase 2000 will be dispensed in the usual way
with application forms being issued to stand holders who are
eligible, on request. Subsidy applications must be back to
Bernadette Fagan by Friday, 7th May.
Showcase Enquiries Catherine Jordan, Showcase Co-ordinator for
CCol Registered Craftworkers is available to answer any queries you
