Celtic Roots Studio
Established in 1991 Celtic Roots Studio creates studio bog oak sculpture using wood discoveredin the midland bogs by peat company Bord na Móna. The oak used is over 5,000 years old.
Former civil engineer turned craft worker, Helen Conneely
uses bog oak and yew to create sculptural pieces that are
sculpted into trophies and gifts. “We also carve quite a lot
of birds,” says Helen. Human forms, nature, especially the
sea and Celtic heritage form the inspiration for the designs.
“It is a sustainable business in that it recycles the wood
discovered in the bogs.”
Celtic Roots Studio has also been commissioned to design large scale sculptural pieces. Their most recognisable sculpture stands outside the departures area of Terminal One at Dublin Airport.
