The Eyes of Ireland takes the reader by the hand and delivers them to the doors of some of the best craft artists in Ireland. Dani O'Riley,

a professional photographer based in Vancouver, visited over 500 craft studios in Ireland in her quest to identify the top artists whose studios were open to the public. These artists work in metal, ceramics, wood, glass, leather and textiles and are located in every corner of the island. The result is a wonderful guidebook that will enthral anyone interested in fine crafts. The artists profiled in these pages range from the very well known, like Stephen Pearce, Nicholas Mosse or Jerpoint Glass, to relatively obscure craftspeople who are just starting to make a name for themselves. In all cases, visitors are welcome to come to their studios to watch them create their stunning works of art.

With impressions and experiences of the studios visited, contact numbers, directions and other useful information, The Eyes of Ireland offers an affectionate portrait of craft artists at work.
