 Welcome! The Studio and Gallery is located in Connemara, County Galway in Ireland on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, where some of my inspirations come from. It's a rugged and rocky landscape with countless examples of natures sculpture all around us, from rocks to trees bent by westerly storms. In this area of Connemara, Gaelic is the first language and traditional music and dance is the Grá (love) of many evenings. If you are looking for a place to get away from the mad rush of city life, this is were you should be, as Jim Morrison of the Doors said " The West is the Best, get here and we'll do the rest"
 This area is rich in History and Wildlife, Neoglithic farmers were here four thousand years ago, they've left us their Megalithic Tombs, these were used as burial sites, their cremated remains were placed beneath massive Rock Structures. More recent peoples of one thousand three hundred years have left us their man made island dwellings on the lakes here in Connemara. Living and working in such a magical land all helps the mind to drift and create.  The link below is to a piece written in the Irish Times about a Crannóg that I discovered recently with a friend of mine in Carna.
Crannóg
Other ideas come from sketching and then it becomes from all that I have seen in travels, paintings, sculpture, architecture, nature and woman herself. When you purchase a piece you are purchasing a piece that is as unique as the person that possesses it, as each piece is designed and made individually so no two pieces are ever the same.
Most of my work has a scupltural form and most pieces are of curves flowing into each other, I have difficulties with anything straight, so it is rarely found in my work. I've recently taken up Archaeology and Mountain Climbing to learn more about where I live, it is opening my eyes to the earth I walk on, the air I breathe and to the sounds I hear. I've more of an awareness to those that have walked the same path thousands of years ago.
If anyone is interested in learning about jewellery making, I'm giving courses in the new year. It will include walks through the inspirational and spiritual landscape that is Connemara.

Customer Comments :
Hi Ruairi,
I meant to write to you last week. My fiancé was absolutely delighted with the cufflinks and has been wearing them to work everyday. The craftmanship is excellent and Darragh has been asked several times where he got them. So hopefully, you might get a few more enquiries out of it!
Again, thanks for making them so speedily ... and so perfectly.
Kind regards, Karen
