In the first episode of the Maker Hub Podcast we interview Louise Carroll who has her own craft and design studio based in Dromahair, Co.Leitrim. Louise uses a mixture of traditional handcrafting and digital fabrication to produce custom gift products. Her tools of the trade include vinyl cutting stencils, sandblasting slate, and laser engraving on glass. We talk about how her husband encouraged her to leave the safety of working in the insurance industry to follow her dream of running her own craft business.
