54 women and men from Ukraine and Kilkenny have woven 1,860 stars for Amber’s One Million Stars project.  The stars were tied to the ‘Amber Stars for Yulefest’ star installation at a special event last week in the Craft Yard in the City. 

The  stunning hand crafted stars represent light, hope and solidary against all violence. 

‘Amber Stars for Yulefest’ is in the Craft Yard throughout Yulefest 2022.
