When I moved to the Glen of Imaal over 20 years it was to run the village shop and post office. I loved our move to the Glen of Imaal and the community we became a part of. Over the years the space has developed and is now a candle shop with an open studio.   

We have created a very special space in Crafty Craic,  where we showcase all aspects of the craft of candle making.  Our view is of Lugnaquilla mountain, which inspires us on a daily basis and we could not ask for a better backdrop to the studio.

We  hold workshops, classes  and parties with candle making at the centre of the experience. If you wish to purchase any candle making kits or supplies please visit my online stall by clicking here

This year we opened out learning space complete with its own little garden for relaxation.  In the studio the log burner is lit for comfort while engaging with the tutors at the many classes and parties.

A large part of the candle making has evolved over the years to more teaching and hands-on work.  I now spend a large part of my working life travelling to schools and hospitals, special care facilities and other places of learning to give classes in candle making.
