This is an amazing beautiful art gallery in the heart of Moycullen village where you can pick up a beautiful piece of art for your personal collection or a gift for someone special. The proprietor is very welcoming and happy to explain her beautiful work

The craft village also boasts one of the finest cafes in Ireland, An Builin Blasta. IIt certainly is well worth a visit.

This was a fantastic experience and I have two beautiful baskets to show for it too. Ciaran is a great teacher, he provides everything you need to do the weaving, and it's both relaxing and great fun - that being said I was wrecked from concentrating by Sunday evening! We had lunch at the little cafe (not included in the course) which was extremely good and is well worth a stop in itself if you're in the area. Ciaran also sells his lovely baskets from the shop, and there are some other crafts people there too. I was particularly impressed by the weaver, but there was also a potter and some other artists as well.

We have been making unique porcelain and stoneware in Roundstone since 1981. Rosemarie O'Toole decorates porcelain thrown by her husband Seamus Laffan. She also makes an extensive range of porcelain jewellery. Her artwork on paper is available framed and unframed. A wide range of durable handmade tiles decorated by Rosemarie is on offer & we can design plaques for house names or business use. We also make a wide range of distinctive domestic stoneware and are happy to take on orders for same. Our work is available exclusively from our studio, opening daily 10-6. Off season please ring to confirm but we are there most days. It should not be confused with the imported industrial ware sold as ' Roundstone Pottery ' throughout the country since 2011, which has no connection with us or this village.
