Arts and Crafts in Ireland

Stone Art

Stone Art provides Unique Artistic Stonework, sculpture and stone mosaic all of which is designed and built to the highest standards by Sunny Wieler. Sunny’s passion for landscaping spans back to his teen years where he would spend his weekends working in his neighbours’ gardens, which he continued to do up into until his college years. While obtaining his degree in Sculpture and Multimedia in the Crawford College of Art & Design in Cork, he would spend many of his free weekends building garden projects for his friends and family. After graduating from college he worked for several different landscaping companies, where he continued to develop his skills. In 2005 he set up his company, Stone Art. Initially Stone Art provided artistic stonework and garden features, but with increasing demand this quickly developed into full landscaping services. Using his recently acquired diploma in Landscape Design and the multimedia skills that he acquired in art college, Sunny also began creating garden designs with the aid of computer aided design or CAD software. In 2008 Sunny also spent a year working for a landscaping company in Christchurch, New Zealand where he spent part of his time hard landscaping and the rest of the time creating 3D garden designs. When The opportunity arises, Sunny also takes on sculpture commissions, creating beautiful unique pieces in a variety of materials and styles for both public and private gardens.

The Constant Knitter

I trained as a Chartered Secretary (Companies Office and Stock Exchange compliance mostly) and was made redundant last year. I am a passionate knitter - knitting on and off all my life. I absolutely adore knitting yarns - textures, colours etc. I decided that one way to feed and fund my "habit" was to sell wool online so now I'm surrounded by it. I'm selling mostly fabulous Garnstudio yarns (silk, cotton, alpaca, pure new wool, merino, sock wools etc.) at very low prices and some yarns from Artesano and Craftspun (Irish). Also knitting needles (stainless steel circulars, very funky Drops plastic colured pointed needles, Brittany wooden pointed needles and some double pointed needles (wooden and metal) and accessories. I am also planning to give small knitting classes. There are thousands and thousands of free beautiful patterns available on the website, generally accepted as the best source of free online patterns.

Celtic Roots Studio

In the bogs of Ireland, a hidden treasure lies - bogwood, a material over years old, once part of ancient oak trees. When these bogs were developed for fuel production in the 1960’s and 1970’s they unearthed relics from a forgotten era, offering a glimpse into a distant past. The artists at the Celtic Roots Studio now breathe new life into this petrified wood, sculpting it into contemporary creations. Each piece carries the whispers of history, connecting us to a time long gone. Bogwood's presence reminds us of the delicate balance between progress and preservation. Let's cherish these gifts from the past, embracing a future where we honour nature's wonders, protecting and preserving them for generations to come

My work begins and ends with marks on paper, on maps,on wrapping,on packaging, new, old, rescued, torn bits and pieces. The subject matter evolves from random thoughts, ideas, visual prompts, words spoken on radio, snippets of conversations overheard, comments on social media and visuals stumbled upon daily. Finally I have settled into a happy path of sitting, mark making, daydreaming and letting what is in my head out via a pen and paper. All work is available to buy originals and prints.

Mystones

Hello! We are two Irish guys who have come up with a selection of beautiful Irish made stone and wood gifts. We like that stone and wood have always been part of our culture. This has been our inspiration. Slate We use local Cork green slate for our stones, this rock was formed 450-600 million years ago (or thereabouts!) when layers of compressed clay, ash & plant material were eventually transformed into rock. Lasers The immense heat of our laser reacts with minerals in the stone, to form natural crystals on the surface of the stone that sparkle darkly. We bring new life to ancient stone. We have developed a new method of working with stone and laser technology to bring something unique to the market. Custom Stones We have a range of stones but we can customize our stones to suit your needs, We have worked a lot with large companies and institutions to create unique and beautiful authentic 100% Irish made gifts. We also work with Wedding professionals to create timeless wedding favors for a couples special day. Feel, Touch, Hold and Enjoy! Slán, Liam and Martin
