Cheryl O’Neill specialises in fused glass art and her pieces are individually designed, hand cut, made and kiln-fused in her studio in Oylegate. Cheryl was inspired to learn the art of glass fusion from her love of seeing light shining through or reflecting on coloured glass. Cheryl takes her inspiration mainly from nature and the changing seasons. ‘Siorghlas’ is irish for evergreen. As well as describing trees that keep their foliage it also depicts people or things that always seem fresh, lively or interesting and that remain popular despite their age; which is how Cheryl likes her glass art to be.

Emily Thompson is a textile artist who specialises in needle felting. Using locally sourced Irish wool, which is washed and dyed using natural materials, Emily meticulously layers the dyed wool to create images of the beautiful Irish landscape. She uses a needle felting tool, and the required technique, which consists of matting the woollen fibers together by repetitively pushing the fibers back and forth using the sharp barbed needle tool. Following this Emily uses both her sewing machine, and simple needle and thread to add further texture and detail to her works. Emily considers her dyed wool her ‘palette’ and felting needles her ‘paintbrush’. Emily sells at a variety of price points, from large scale statement works, to smaller more intimate works framed in embroidery hoops. She also offers a variety of stationary products, homeware, and prints featuring her work. These products include coasters, mugs, calendars, and cards.

Contemporary Irish jewellery from the Kerry Dark Sky Reserve - celestial, symbolic and made for those who want their jewellery to mean something.

Lyndsay Lawless is an award-winning jewellery designer and maker based near Killarney, where she works from her studio in the Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve. Her work is shaped by the landscape around her: dark skies, shifting moons, ancient stories, celestial symbolism and the quiet power of objects that carry meaning.

Lyndsay creates contemporary Irish jewellery for people who want their adornment to feel personal rather than decorative alone. Her collections draw on mythology, astronomy and goddess archetypes, translating these ideas into wearable pieces made with stainless steel, natural gemstones and carefully considered symbolic forms. Moons, stars, arrows, circles and orbits appear throughout the work as visual language which become small pieces of armour for change, becoming and self-possession.

Lyndsay is particularly interested in jewellery as a portable story. A necklace or pair of earrings can become a marker of a moment, a gift of encouragement, a reminder of strength, or a way of stepping into oneself more fully. Her work balances meaning with wearability: it is designed to be distinctive, durable, accessible and lived in.

As a member of Design & Crafts Council Ireland, and as a maker with an established retail store in Killarney, She understands the importance of presentation, customer connection and professional craft standards. She offers a cohesive, visually strong selection of contemporary Irish jewellery with a clear story, strong gifting appeal and a distinctive sense of place. Lyndsay creates Celestial Jewellery that offers highly gift-able pieces, deeply rooted in Irish place, story and contemporary craft.

Michael Kehoe describes himself as a self-taught woodturner but has also taken master classes with Nikos Siragas [Crete] and Jean Francois Escolon [France]. Michael's products can be functional, decorative or just downright whimsical. Michaels work includes clocks, bowls, lamps and items that just make you smile. Michael does not adhere to the principal the woodturning should be "round and brown" and therefore much of his product is embellished with colour and gilt.

Michele Hannan seeks to capture the beauty and joy of the natural world and bring it into everyday life through the medium of ceramics. Each piece Michele creates is an intimate expression of the landscapes and organic forms that surround us, shaped in Michele’s Castleknock studio in Dublin.

With over thirty years of experience working with clay, Michele’s journey with ceramics is rooted in a deep passion for the craft. This passion was nurtured at the National College of Art and Design, where Michele first fell in love with the possibilities of clay. Since founding Michele Hannan Ceramics in 1997, Michele has been dedicated to create both functional and sculptural works that embody the vibrant spirit of the Irish landscape and coastline.

For Michele, ceramics is more than a medium—it is a celebration of nature, crafted to bring moments of joy and reflection into our everyday lives.

When first encountering the work of Muireann Ryan, natural textures, colours and forms of place flood the senses. The outdoor world with all its feminine mystique is finely observed, informs her work and is celebrated in her designs. Stepping closer, the story of her process begins to unfold before us: It is a story told from within the natural world as she offers us understanding of our environment’s mysteries. Geometric structures are revealed on the surface of the sea, textures of the land retold in marks hammered in silver and low winter light captured on matt brushed metal as landscape becomes adornment.

There is no trite answer here but an elevation of the age old interplay of art and inquiry. She submits her designs to the viewer as proposals or invitations to share in her encounters with the land and the sea. A diving enthusiast, Ryan's work is inspired from her immersion in the wild places of County Waterford, where she has made her home. Like a journeyman to these hidden places she gathers us to see the wonders she has seen. This generous act also asks us to value the perfect distillation of her experience as her work reflects the perfection of nature’s fleeting moment. These tantalising vistas and possibilities become keepsakes: jewellery, artworks and sculptures that carry all the knowledge she has unearthed about place.
