The wild goose studio
Skellig Cross of Hope

There were once monasteries on 23 islands off the Irish Coast, and that built 1,400 years ago on Skellig Michael was the most daring. Beehive-shaped stone huts and two boat-shaped oratories survive today on the great towering crag 720 feet above sea level and seven miles from Valentia on the coast of Kerry. Those early Christians were spirit wrestlers on the edge of the world.

"No Attic light for them and no Herodotus.
But thin rain and dogfish and the stopgap
Of the sharp cliffs
they spent their winters on.

And the pitch black Atlantic night
And how the sound
Of the bird's wing in a lost language sounded."
(from a poem by Eavan Boland; quote courtesy of Carcanet Press)

A part of history.. a part of us.. the root of the creations

Since its foundation in 1969, Wild Goose Studio has sought its inspiration in Ireland's history, poetry and mythology.

From the beginning, a group of skilled craft-workers in Kinsale, Co. Cork has maintained the tradition of high quality as the range of images has grown.  The early experimental spirit of Brian Scott-McCarthy and Kathleen Smyth remains to this day as Wild Goose broadens its horizons and expands its offering of award-winning gifts for friends, family and for you.
