Collaborative artwork created by 50 glassmakers from across the island of Ireland during the Covid lockdown has gone on display.

Confined to within five kilometres of their homes and studios, the glassmakers came together virtually to collaborate on a large glass quilt.

The quilt is currently on display at the National Museum of Ireland – Country Life in Co Mayo.
