Donegal Copper Craft

I grew up in Ballyfermot, Dublin in the good old days. I have always loved Art and especially working with my hands. My Father was and still is a big influence in my way of life. He was a carpenter by trade and was very highly skilled in whatever he put his hand to. So from a very young age I have learnt to appreciate anything handmade.

When I left school, I was always going to work with my hands, I worked in the construction Industry for over twenty-five years specializing in concrete layout and design. I fell in love with Copper Art when I attended an Art Exhibition of a good friend of mine who had inherited his skill of Copper Art from his Father. From then on, I was hooked.

I studied and learned the ancient techniques combined with all the new techniques over a number of years before I moved up to Donegal. I then started Donegal Copper Craft as a hobby and it has now turned into a full-time passion that I know I wanted to carry forever.
