Druid Craft is a Cork-based
manufacturing company
specialising in bronze statues
and gifts. The range includes
soccer, rugby, golf, gaelic games,
equestrian and Irish historical,
among many more. Druid Craft
takes its name from the ancient
high priests and uses many of the
same methods in place since the
Bronze Age. Each piece is handcast using a mould made from a
sculpture, almost exactly as it was
3000 years ago and then finished
by hand to ensure precision and
high quality.
Gosling Games is a family-based
business, which provides good
old-fashioned entertainment
of the kind you thought you
couldn’t find any more, including
board games such as the now
infamous ‘Discovering Ireland’ and
jigsaw puzzles. The philosophy
has always been to design and
produce traditional Irish made
games which encourage learning
through fun. A recent addition
to the range is a traditional Ring
Board. While the wooden game
design looks great, it is also
fantastic for improving hand-eye
coordination.
Lee River Leather Goods was
founded in Cork in 1985, but as far
back as 1969 has been creating
work in leather for the fashion
savvy consumer. The company
is famed for belts and now in

collection of Irish-made designer
fashion accessories, including
classic leather bags, belts and
wallets. Handmade in Cork, Lee

leather that is ethically sourced
from a family-owned tannery in
Tuscany.

From a workshop in Kinsale
Co. Cork, Mamukko produces
a contemporary and affordable
range of handmade handbags
and accessories. These original
creations are made of up-cycled
sailcloth, PVC tarpaulin and marine
fabrics. Mamukko is
the creative passion of two
brothers, Attila and Levi, and
each piece is individually
designed, handcrafted and
finished in their workshop.
Mianra Soaps are handmade in
small batches, using the traditional
cold process method and only
with natural ingredients, which are
suitable for even the most delicate
skin. Mianra – which means Mineral
in Irish – was chosen to reflect
some of the unique ingredients
used in these soaps, in particular
the wild harvested seaweed from
the West of Ireland which has an
extremely high mineral content
and is incorporated in many Mianra
soaps. Formulating, tweaking
recipes and dreaming up scents is
the mantra of Mianra.
Rynhart Fine Art Bronze was
started by Jeanne Rynhart, creator
of the Molly Malone statue in
Dublin, in 1981. Since 1994, it has
been run by Jeanne’s daughter
Audrey and son-in-law Les
Eilliot. Each piece is individually
handmade in Glengarriff, West
Cork. When happy with the
modelling, a mould is made and
production begins in bronze
plate (cold cast bronze) or smelt
bronze (for gallery work/one
off public sculpture and private
commissions). Finally, the pieces
are hand polished and finishing
touches added.

of scented candles is based on the
decorative elements of the Irish

boxed candle is decorated in
heritage colours, with motifs taken
from elements found in an Irish
country house.
Each scent represents the mood
evoked by a particular room, for
example, summer damask roses
in the drawing room. Boxes tell
the story of each room and how it
was used. The range consists of
five scents, entrance hall, drawing
room, dining room, library and
garden room.
Inspired by the Mrs. Doyle
character from the much loved
“Father Ted” TV series, there are
tea pots, tea cosies and cups as
well as chocolates and jams –
everything you need to enjoy a
perfect cup of tea!
Mrs. Doyle’s tea has expanded
outside of “Craggy Island” and is
growing in popularity at various
outlets across the country. Those
behind Mrs. Doyle’s tea also love
her look, describing it as vintage
and cool, which led to the creation
of aprons, hats and bags.

She is influenced by the Irish rural

Claire also creates individual pots
for horse owners, where each
pot is decorated with hair from a
particular horse to create a unique
memento.

Roy Humphreys is a fourth
generation woodturner. He is
self taught and uses all native
timber in his work, including Yew,
Beech, Oak, Elm and Ash. For
Roy, woodturning is a journey of
discovery: acquiring the wood,
imagining all its possibilities,
the turning process itself and
removing the turned piece from
the lathe. When the wood has
been left to dry for a number of
months, Roy rediscovers it again
– applying oil to the raw surface
and seeing the richness, depth of
colour and grain spring magically
to life.
Artist Iris Hippelle re-creates the
wilderness of nature in her textile
art. Her silk and linen pieces are
decorated ornamentally with
botanic imprints using perennials,
wild flowers from the meadows,
weeds and vegetables and each
piece is an original. For the last
two decades, her work has been
recognised internationally and
is collected not just in Ireland
but in countries as diverse as
Switzerland, France, Australia,
Japan and the USA. Her work also
includes original hand painted
behind glass clocks and CD clocks
inspired by nature.
Celtic Flame candles are made
using up to twenty different
processes by a team of three.
Wax blocks are melted down and
poured into moulds, flowing over
wicks and cubes of wax. Scents
and colour are added and as the
candles cool, they are topped up
to ensure a smooth, consistent
finish. The range currently
comprises of six spring/summer
scents and associated colours.
Every Celtic Flame candle sold
not only provides a beautiful,
handcrafted gift, but supports
social services for older people
in Leitrim.

Best known for her life like
mould-blown forms, Louise
employs a variety of hot and warm
glass techniques to create her
distinctive sculptural glasswork,
which is often combined or
juxtaposed with found objects and
other materials. Her work features
in national and international
collections, including the Ulster
Museum and the National Glass
Museum of the Netherlands.
Jonathan Ball is based in Kinlough,
North Leitrim. He loves working
with both glass and metal as
both materials, once heated, give
countless options for shaping
them into a work of art.
Jonathan continues to be inspired
by the optical qualities of glass and
its potential for detail and colour;
and the strength, durability and
plasticity of hot forged metalwork.
Originally trained in furniture
design, Jonathan developed his
blacksmithing skills while working
with artist blacksmiths in England
and the USA.
Patricia Murphy is an
internationally-exhibited artist
whose paintings and textiles
explore through colour, ideas
about the properties of light and

work was chosen by the office
of the Office of the President of
Ireland and the Department of
