Local Enterprise Office Mayo backs three craft businesses for Showcase 2026

Three of Mayo’s best up-and-coming craft businesses will get a chance to meet buyers from all over the world at Showcase 2026, which takes place from January 18-20.

The craft businesses will feature in the “Local Enterprise Showcase”, which hosts a range of Ireland’s newest design talent.

Slainte Sea Moss, a Foxford-based skincare business; Kam Art & Design, a Westport-based jewellery design business, and Mouse House Studios, a Killala-based painting and sculpture business, will represent Mayo at this year’s event.

Local Enterprise Office Mayo has been working with the three Mayo representatives on merchandising for their stands, marketing, and sales techniques to ensure they maximise opportunities at the three-day event.

John Magee, Head of Enterprise, Mayo County Council, believes this is an opportunity like no other for up-and-coming craft and design clients looking to make that break through.

 “To be exposed to this many high-quality buyers in one place is an incredible opportunity for any business starting out. If things go well at this event, a business could accept many orders and/or establish a partnership that could help them grow in the future.

“While that won’t happen for every business, just to be here, see other clients, get new ideas, and develop their skills in marketing and sales will stand by them going forward.”

The awards will take place on Monday, January 19, at Showcase in the RDS as part of the overall event.
