Having qualified as a master craftsman with Waterford Crystal, Sean and his wife Liz came to Dingle, County Kerry in 1998 and set up Dingle Crystal. Dingle is n area famous for its rich heritage of craft and tradition, Sean took inspiration from his new home and transformed it to create a breathtaking collection of crystal giftware using Celtic themes. With six different and distinct patterns, Sean has become renowned for the quality of his work and in particular for his Celtic knots and circles. Visitors to the Dingle Crystal shop on Green Street, Dingle can view a stunning array of glassware from bowls to glasses, from candlesticks to vases, be it a personalised and exclusive wedding gift, a special present or simply a luxurious souvenir of your trip to Kerry, Dingle Crystal is a treasure trove for all.
Sean is a big biker dude with tattoos and a Harley...and does some of the most amazing artwork I've ever seen! He is also a great guy to boot. I have been to Ireland 4 times and gone here every time to add more pieces to my set. Sean was a master craftsman at Waterford - Waterford crystal is now mass produced, so it is no longer something special. When Sean left Waterford, he set up his own shop in Dingle. He has about 5 patterns (if I remember correctly), my favorite is the Irish harp pattern. I order a couple of glasses when I'm there, then about 6 weeks later they arrive at my door in the states, signed and dated by Sean. We were there last month and he now has his two sons working along side him and his daughter runs the shop. We explained to her that we visited every time we were in Ireland, and referred anyone going to Ireland to visit also. One friend we referred was shopping there on her trip a few years back and was having issues with her credit card - Sean and family helped her contact the card company and get everything sorted out. We were saddened to hear that Sean's wife had passed since our last visit - we have great memories of her coffee shop in the back of the crystal store. My Dingle crystal is a cherished collection, and I look forward to adding more pieces over the years.

I would like to add an additional business as I have a bar now as well in Dingle but at a different location. I have tried various things but yet no joy so am hoping for some direction.

Lorge chocolates are the first choice of many of Ireland's premier hotels and can be purchased in select fine food retailers nationwide.Visitors to the gourmet town of Kenmare can visit Benoit's traditional chocolate shop and see the hand-crafted delicacies take shape..
The four of us went on a chocolate making course in Kenmare, Co. Kerry. The course included making chocolate bars, lollipops marzipan chocolates and chocolate circles. Benoit was very patient even when we made mistakes! He truly is passionate about chocolate and explained how it is made. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone! They also have shops in Kenmare and Bonane in Kerry.

Holden Leathergoods is an Irish based company located in Dingle, Co.Kerry. Conor Holden trained in leatherwork in London and returned to Ireland in 1989 to establish Holden Leathergoods on the Dingle Peninsula in Co.Kerry. The traditional stone built schoolhouse is located in Baile an Ghoilin , three miles west of Dingle town, overlooking the harbour. Here local crafts people , trained by Conor, create beautifully designed pieces from the highest quality Italian leather.
First visited 20+ years ago and make sure I go back frequently. Best leather goods I’ve ever purchased. Beautiful, durable and special. Well priced for the quality of product. When you compare Holden Leathergoods to mass produced designer bags constructed from vinyl-coated canvas and lined in cheap polyester, Holden clearly wins on quality, design, and price. Holden bags are crafted from beautiful leather with emerald green suede lining, gorgeous metal hardware that is functional yet subtle. These are the hallmarks of Holden design. The Holden’s are a pleasure to do business with; the care put into each transaction is refreshing and I have purchased in person and online. Great for special gifts as well. Nice to have something that is such good quality, handmade, and purchased from such good people.

From our small, family-run workshop in An Rinn, Co. Waterford, we craft precise hand cut crystal products for discerning customers around the world. The products we make are stories made physical. More than just useful objects, they create meaningful connection with our rich culture, history, nature and language. Criostal na Rinne is situated on the coast of west Waterford in Ireland’s Ancient East, near the Waterford Greenway. We are nestled a short distance from historic towns and villages such as Lismore, Dungarvan, Ardmore and Youghal. We are located just 8km off the N25 between Dungarvan and Cork near the R674 to An Rinn and Ceann Heilbhic. Visit Criostal na Rinne to experience the craft of crystal cut by hand, a skill that the area is noted for. Eamonn gives free tours and demonstrations both individually and to groups, showing the techniques of a master craftsman and explaining the history of glassmaking in the area stretching back hundreds of years to the present day.
We were told of this small crystal shop by a couple at our B&B. It is amazing. The master craftsman and owner spent hours with us showing us how he creates masterpieces. In fact, he is the one who was selected to provide the Irish Bowl gift from Ireland to President Trump when he was elected president. I highly recommend spending some time talking to Eamonn Terry. He is a true Irishman and artist. He made custom Christmas ornaments and a frame for my husband displaying his police badge. I feel honored to have met him and to own a few pieces of his work.

Well done to the Skelliggift Store. Took just one day from order to delivery to Co Meath. Delighted with the quality of the aran sweaters I purchased. Have been looking for some Michael Kennedy pottery and delighted to find it there
