This commission to design and make perpetual trophies and player of the series trophies for the Interprovincial Cup ,and interprovincial Trophy  were part of Hanley Energy's sponsorship of the Series run by Cricket Ireland. The design using bronze, acrylic stainless steel and 3 species of native Irish hardwoods, Yew, Elm and Spanish Chestnut were chosen to show sustainablity as a key force in this sponsorship. Shane Holland and Team at Shane Holland Design  sculpted these pieces integrating the famous Kookaburra white cricket ball as the centre-piece with a swirl of bronze to emphasise the spin on the ball key to cricket.  Each trophy is signed by the designer with the name of the wooden species. The championship will be decided at Egilnton Cricket club in Co Derry on the 26th June where the initial trophies will be given out by  Clive Gilmore  CEO of Hanley Energy. 

The Marketing Institiutes' All Ireland Marketing Awards have left our workshops for the big Gala event in the Double Tree at Hilton Hotel in Dublin tomorrow. The awards made in Bronze , Stainless steel and Stained Ash are  rolled, formed, chiseled and polished to a high finish to be fought over by the top brand campaigns in the country each year. We are happy to have this event as one of our premium clients and wish everybody the best of luck in the competition and the event.

The new awards will be presented March 25th in Dublin featuring these newly designed awards bring the theme of flightlines into Ireland as the key element to the design. Handbuilt at Shane Holland Design Workshops in Co Meath out of Woven copper , Solid bronze , and Irish Yew, laser etched Acrylic and hand cut copper profiles of Ireland. These special awards are being sponsored this year by the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland as part of the Year of Irish Design ID2015 celebrations. The designs aim to create a new dynamism and focus to the Irish Tourism Industry. Certificates were also designed to honour finalists based on the same theme. The design approach was to create an impression of lines incoming via the woven wire and laser etched arrows, the base was stepped and contrasting between the intricate detail on the yew to the simple rings of bronze to be the achievement element of the design. We wish all contestants all the best on the night. Yes tonight!
