Sample-Studios is delighted to offer a Sample of Sample, a new initiative allowing our audience to support local artists and take home a bit of Sample-Studios!

These bespoke gift boxes feature original work from four professional artists and Sample-Studios members. The contents of the gift boxes can be tailored and each item is hand-made to order by the artists. These will make for ideal gifts to staff for businesses looking for a more bespoke, high-end alternative to commercial gift boxes and hampers which also supports local artists.

The items & artworks available include:

• A hand-bound, hardcover notebook by Elize de Beer (@elizedebeer.art). Available in a choice of pink, red, blue, green, grey, and black
• A canvas tote bag hand printed by Riki Matsuda (@riki_mats)
• An limited-edition print by Elinor O’Donovan (@elinorodonovan)
• A selection of four bespoke greeting cards featuring artwork by Elinor O’Donovan (@elinorodonovan) OR Emma O’Hara (@emma_o_hara)

Sample of Sample gift boxes are available by preorder for €140 each. Please contact Matthew Whyte at development@sample-studios.com to arrange an order or for any queries.
