What an absolute pleasure it has been to work with all of you. When we contemplated the scale of Form & Fable starting out, it was scary enough. ‘Will we be able to deliver this’ says Av - as though I might know :-) But in the end, it was entirely positive and good. Form + Fable was 50 makers strong. A small tribe. For those of you who were able to spend time in the space, who contributed to workshops and demonstrations and helped put steel into the nervous systems of Ava, Karis and I, a particular place in Heaven awaits :-) Let’s keep building this community: for greater market access, for the bottom line, for collaborations and ideas and pints. more anon... anike + ava at JHS @jhillsstandard

Masters of knitwear, @sphereonecircle , have created a considered edit of limited-edition hand-knit baby alpaca styles and brushed, bouclé cashmere-silk accessories. Designed in Dublin and crafted from the world’s finest yarns, the Autumn Winter 2025 collection explores traditional knit techniques reimagined for modern wear. A restrained palette of Black, Light Grey, and Bog Cotton highlights the natural beauty and texture of exceptionally soft Peruvian baby alpaca - lightweight, tactile, and quietly luxurious.

@tshylik is a sculptor whose practice centres on carved stone, with occasional explorations in cast plaster and iron. His work is deeply informed by the way movement activates space, treating the areas between sculptures as equally meaningful as the forms themselves. Inspired by ballet, the works on view examine tension, balance, and the flow of energy between bodies in motion, shaped through the physical language of dance. On view at Form & Fable.

Marcus O’Mahony @omahony_marcus is a ceramicist working from Glencairn, Co. Waterford, where each vessel is shaped by hand and transformed through an intense 50-hour firing in a wood-fired Anagama kiln, reaching temperatures of up to 1300°C. Using techniques such as layered slips, crackle slip, shino and celadon glazes, and clay bodies enriched with feldspar, grit, and iron, O’Mahony allows flame, ash, and heat to become active collaborators. Fly ash settles and melts across surfaces, flame paths leave rich markings, and glazes break, pool, and shift in tone - from milky whites and soft greens to deep russets and oranges. Each piece bears the record of its placement in the kiln, making every vessel singular: an intersection of material, process, and time.

‘Tethered’ (2025) by Richard Hearns @richard_hearns is a large-scale oil on linen work that draws the viewer into a charged space between landscape, memory, and inner experience. Held in delicate tension between abstraction and a sensed place, the painting unfolds through bold planes of colour: luminous yellow, earthy green, and receding sky-blue, anchored by a red frame. Hearns works from a studio immersed in the landscape of The Burren National Park, County Clare, where earth, sea, and sky directly inform his gestures and palette. Born in Beirut and raised in Ireland, his paintings weave cultural memory, modernist painting histories, and lived experience into meditative, bodily acts of mark-making. ‘Tethered’ is on view and available for purchase at Form & Fable.

Form & Fable’s spatial and shelving design is by @irenie.studio , a London-based design studio founded by Dublin-born Irenie Cossey. The space is carefully laid out, abundant with light natural wood, honest materials, and a calm clarity that lets each object breathe. The layout is shaped to hold people as thoughtfully as it holds craft, inviting you to wander, pause, and move with ease.
