Amharc Fhine Gall II, an exhibition of contemporary craft showcasing the work of nine artists living and working in County Fingal, was the second in what had become an annual group exhibition in Draíocht celebrating the excellence and diversity of artistic talent in the Fingal Area.
The nine featured artists that year were Elizabeth Bonnar (Castleknock), John Bonnar (Castleknock) (who are husband and wife), Aidan Breen (Swords), Geraldine Clarke (Skerries), Niamh Harte (Skerries), Michelle Maher (Castleknock), Tony Perry, James Rogan (Garristown, Co Dublin) and Sarjit Verik.
Their work showcased a variety of media including ceramic, jewellery, wood, lace, and felt.
