Market Sq Studios in Ballinakill bring together local artists.
A former Laois Credit Union has been transformed into a hub celebrating Irish craftsmanship.
Market Sq Studios in Ballinakill, showcases locally made jewellery, artwork, ceramics, woodcraft and artisan food, with many products created by Laois makers.
The restored building has helped boost footfall in the village through its artisan coffee, new courtyard and the arts festival.
The studio also provides opportunities for emerging Irish designers, as its owners help makers grow their businesses while showcasing the best of the counties creativity.
Owner Niav Riley, who moved to the village 20 years ago, says the family run business was created as a community space to support artists, crafters and small businesses:
