Local Artists and Makers of Inis Oírr

Inis Oírr is home to a very special group of artists/makers.

We all find inspiration from this beautiful place, and appreciate the quiet rhythms of our lives here. Time to work, time to play, and most of all… time for making our art/craft.

Please contact any of these lovely people directly by email, or find them on social media.
