Many makers have a studio, shop, toilets and café facilities onsite. Ideally making contact in advance with each stop you wish to
visit is recommended, especially outside of the Summer season.
Private craft demonstrations and workshops can be arranged by
contacting the maker directly. It is free to visit any of the stops along
the Trail but there is generally a charge for workshops and detailed
demonstrations. Makers’ fees and charges are at their own discretion.
Opening times can vary; ideally contact makers in advance.

Master Goldsmith and jewellery designer, Paul F Kelly produces
handcrafted originals at his workshop and retail outlet. Working in gold
and silver, Paul also takes on commission pieces. He often combines
gold and silver with precious or semi-precious stones to create one
of the most distinctive and inspired jewellery collections in Ireland.
His exclusive Ring of Kerry displays two individual silver & 18 carat
gold bands; one set with an emerald, the other a cut diamond. When
connected the ring sparks colours of green, white and gold, its creation
inspired by the ancient poet and leader, Amerghin, who chanted the
first poem to be composed on Irish soil.

Kerry Woollen Mills is one of the last surviving traditional woollen
mills in Ireland and has been creating fabrics and yarns for some
300 years. The Mill was bought by the Eadie family in 1904. It’s a
fascinating experience to see first-hand the carding, spinning, weaving
and finishing of scarves, shawls, tweeds, blankets and rugs. Seeing
the production process of knitting yarns in pure new wool and other
natural fibres drives home a huge appreciation of the fabric and
craftsmanship of these fashion items.
