Founded in 1969 by Patrick Clancy Kilkenny Crystal is Ireland's oldest Family-owned Crystal Studio Workshop. Our use of traditional techniques means that our crystal is likened to antique quality. Each piece is deeply cut by hand and then polished with care to retain a fine finish. We create many original designs and unusual pieces and due to the limited number of pieces produced each year many items become valuable collectors items. Our product range and full history of Kilkenny Crystal can be found on our web site.

We were recently in Kilkenny and I saw a gorgeous vase in a shop window. It looked heavy and I didn't want to carry it home. My husband contacted Kilkenny Crystal and had it shipped in time for Christmas. It is the most beautiful vase I own!! My husband said that the owner was lovely to deal with, I would definitely recommend purchasing this crystal artwork!

Desmond is a fantastic person and a silversmith. He made my and my husband a beautiful and unique wedding rings we all designed together. He took his precious time to do it. When we go to kilkenny we always make some time to go and visit him. Thank you so Desmond and we are looking forward to come back and get my eternity ring designed for my 5year anniversary. Thank you from all of my heart xx

Thanks to all at jerpoint glass for opening up especially on Sunday for an amusing afternoon. We watched the master at work who produced a beautiful vase and then we got to blow some glass ourselves with various degrees of success! Good fun. Their shop shows the incredible talent the whole family have from wood turning to craft work. Really interesting place and fantastic to see such small Irish company doing so well.

Our mill shop is open daily where you get see a selection of our products made in our adjacent mill including Irish wool blankets, lambswool throws, mohair throws and a range of fashion accessories and knitting yarns. We also sell a selection of gifts from other makers.

Fantastic tour of the mills with an excellent narrative from Miriam Cushen as to history and prospects for this, very traditional family business - well worth the visit and the town if Graignemanagh is quaint, traditional and worth a few hours and a lunch.

Situated in an old stable in the castle yard you will be able to wander from workshop to studio. At Castle Arch Pottery you will be able to view the pottery being made, ask questions regarding the process involved in making pottery and shop in our pottery store for that perfect gift.

Loved our time in Kilkenny, and just loved this beautiful shop full of gorgeous pottery! The studio and work area are fun to see, and I loved all of the drying work getting ready for the next step. All of my purchases were well wrapped and all made it unscathed to the US! Couldn't be happier with my purchases!
