Publisher's Synopsis
A magnificent testament to a centuries-old heritage, Traditional Crafts of Ireland is a chronicle of times past, but also a celebration of an enduring culture and a source of inspiration for generations to come. We meet the skilled practitioners of more than 40 traditional Irish crafts, from woodworkers, thatchers, goldsmiths and potters to glassblowers of the world-famous Waterford crystal, crios weavers from the Aran Islands, and the makers of items as varied as harps and quilts, súgán ropes and currachs, dry-stone walls and Irish lace.
