Craft Tour
The Newbridge Silverware factory story is the story of a town, its artisans and a newly independent Ireland, seen through a craft that has changed little since the factory opened in 1934.
As you tour through the Newbridge Silverware Factory you meet the people who design and craft each piece. From the pressing and stamping machines that have been in use for over a century, to the ultra-modern water jet cutting machines, Newbridge Silverware embraces the latest technology, while celebrating techniques that have stood the test of time.
Some of the techniques used require a ten-year apprenticeship, others were developed here, in the factory, by the expert craftspeople of Newbridge Silverware. Your visit will give an added shine to any Newbridge Silverware you bring home or give as gifts.
our story
How it all began
Newbridge Silverware was established in 1934 as a cooperative venture to provide employment for the people of Newbridge and the surrounding area. With the help of the many talented craftspeople in the area, the company made silver cutlery which was sold around the world.
