The Stoneybatter Guild is a small
closed courtyard in the heart of Stoneybatter - the part of the city
which is now known as Dublin 7. The history of Stoneybatter dates
back to the 2nd century, when the highway connecting Tara
and Wicklow was built here. The locals call Stoneybatter the "Urban
Village" and consider it as
a separate city inside Dublin. It used to be home for workmen and
their workshops originally, and is distinguished from other parts of
the city by its brick houses, bright coloured doors and colourful
window boxes. In recent years it has started to become settled in by
artists and young people who work to open new galleries, coffees and
independent workshops in here.

The Stoneybatter
Guild is a place run by a group of people who try to bring back the
tradition of craftsmanship and creativity to this part of the city.
They use a small courtyard and provide spaces in it for independent
artists and craftspeople. Some of these 'craftspeople' are MEDS
participants working in the Clock Making workshop for these
two weeks. Participants are located in two rooms with beautiful
sorroundings and adequate space for their experimental work with
process and materials.
