EARRINGS OF THE DAY
Our shop has been here in Bantry for 50 years!
I opened The Craft Shop in 1974 and, 50 years later, it continues to showcase the work of many of the original craftspeople with whom the Craft Shop has been associated. Colleen, my daughter, now works alongside me in the shop, discovering new artisans, and bringing her own style to the shop.
We love welcoming people into our shop in Bantry, browsing, perusing, taking pleasure in the delight that these beautiful things bring to our lives. And if you can’t make it to Bantry, we hope that our site gives you a true sense of the work we sell, and we look forward to posting the crafts you choose, wherever in the world you may be.

Curated Selection of Unique Handmade Irish Crafts
From our social media to you...
I often get asked about featuring crafts from our social media on our website. Each item is briefly described, but the real essence lies in the visuals. Occasionally, I'll share videos on social media for a better feel. Once these one-off pieces are sold, they're gone for good. While similar items may be created, no two pieces are identical. I'll feature these pieces on our website for around 48 hours to make them accessible. Follow us on social media for updates and snag these unique finds while you can.
