Island Turf Crafts
"The deeper you go into the earth the blacker the turf is in terms of colour and patina”Coalisland based Island Turf Crafts uses 5,000 year
old Irish turf, sustainably sourced from some of Ireland’s
oldest boglands to create ornaments, clocks, Celtic
crosses, picture frames, paperweights, jewellery and
other souvenirs.
The unique antique brown finish highlights every detail of the delicate ancient Celtic designs and Celtic mythology forms a core part of this giftware.
Owner Brian McGirr was inspired by his surrounding environment and began experimenting with the material. Wet bog is fused using glue to create different shapes.
