The Kilkenny Design Workshops were a government-funded research and development centre of excellence for design established in Ireland in 1963.
Peter Donovan was invited to join the Kilkenny Design Workshops in 1964. He was awarded the California Gold Medal at the RDS Crafts Competition in 1968, and continued designing for Kilkenny throughout his life.
In 2013 the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland held a conference titled "KDW@21C" that sought to investigate the continuing legacy and acknowledge the influence of the Kilkenny Design Workshops on Irish design practice and culture.
