Button Studio Jane Walsh

Set up in Randalstown, Co. Antrim in 2011 by Scott Benefield and Andrea Spencer, BTU is the first new independent hot glass studio in Northern Ireland since the 1970s. They make contemporary giftware based on Venetian glassblowing techniques but with a contemporary design aesthetic.

Bunbury Boards produce worktops, bookshelves, tabletops and other bespoke items made from fallen and dead timber in the Lisnavagh estate woodlands. Each board comes with its own unique report, with an image of the tree, the reason why the tree died and what has been done to replace it.

National College of Art and Design graduate Jane Walsh makes her jewellery and gifts by turning ordinary objects into exceptional pieces. Her colourful designs appeal to everyone young and old. Her collection includes rings, cufflinks, earrings and wall art for celebratory occasions.
