What is Bog? : Tens of thousands of years ago when long periods of time - successive layers of plants and mosses withered and died in waterlogged areas, building up by slow degrees the bogland - covered one seventh of the surface of Ireland - for centuries has been cut and saved by the people of the bogland districts

We take great pride in introducing you to this Limited selection - handmade from bog, in the specialist workshops, that are no longer being made.
