We are thrilled to share that a new mural celebrating the beauty and heritage of Limerick lace is on its way! Thanks to the collaboration with Ohhi Ohno, a Limerick-based urban artist, we have a design, inspired by one of the historical pieces in the Limerick Museum, a beautiful shawl designed and made by Eileen O’Donohue.

Thanks to generous seed funding provided by Cllr. Olivia O’Sullivan, we will be able to cover the very basics. And thanks to Rockhall Vets, we have a location for the mural in Clare Street at number 66. This is the Limerick area where several lace factories operated from 1830 onwards.

But paint alone does not make a mural. To truly honour this intricate craft and the generations of makers behind it, we need your help to fund the finishing touches: scaffolding, protective coatings, equipment, and the work of the fantastic artist.

This mural will not only brighten our streets, it will preserve and celebrate the artistry of Limerick lace, a tradition woven into our city’s identity and history.

Every contribution, big or small, will help transform bare brick into a lasting tribute to creativity, heritage, and pride of place.

Donate today and be part of stitching Limerick lace into our cityscape.

Together, we can ensure this mural is as enduring and intricate as the lace that inspired it.
