We were looking for something different to do while we were on holiday touring County Galway and this certainly was - what a wonderful experience! Bone carving may not sound particularly apetising but don't let it put you off, it is fantastic what even a beginner can do in a day with a little effort and concentration - and to... More

I only stumbled upon the studio by chance and after peeking into the window at the beautiful pieces immediately decided I had to try it! I was short on time in Galway though and a bit apprehensive I wouldn't be able to get in for a class, but Aoife was very accommodating. I loved the smaller size of the class... More

My sister and I decided that a bone carving class with Aoife would be on our list of things to do in Galway. We contacted her two months in advance to set up a class because we were that excited about it. She walked us through the steps of creating a beautiful pendant from a bone. This is a unique... More

I found this place here on TripAdvisor so I booked a session and boy was it fun - one of the highlights of my time in Galway. Aoife is such a great teacher and lovely person. I had a one-on-one lesson and the time flew. She is a patient teacher and in the end, I wound up with a beautiful... More

We initially did not have time in our schedule to do the bone carving, but after visiting the studio and speaking with Aoife, we decided to extend our trip! After a week spent traveling around Ireland, it was nice to have a day where we could sit down and relax. Aoife was great and extremely patient with all of us.... More

What an amazing and different experience while seeing Ireland, to get to hand-craft something that the very ancient and faraway Celts used to do! To see it brought back and reinvented through...

I spent a day during my trip here and it was SO worth it! Aoife (pronounced Eee-fa) was the most patient, helpful and fun person to work with in all of my trip across Europe! Her studio is easy to find, and her previous bone pieces are just gorgeous to look at. I had a great time meeting new people,... More

Spent a "gray day" in Nov. 2010...with Aoife teaching us the art of bone carving...5 cousins left with beautiful Celtic designs of carved bone to wear as a happy memory of a great trip! Returned in May, 2012 to "say hello" to Aoife...but she was away for her Wedding! Congratulations!!!!!

Unusual craft of making jewelry from bone. The young lady who owns the business and makes the jewelry was interesting to talk with and has obvious design talent.
