Paddy Quigley
Craft Discipline: Wood-Turner
From his wood-turning workshop at Glyde Farm in Tallanstown, Paddy Quigley has been designing and making functional, decorative and artistic pieces by hand since 2000.
Well-known for his jewellery boxes, bowls, mirrors, clock and lamps, Paddy only uses kiln dried Irish timber. You'll find a gallery featuring Paddy's work beside his workshop in Tallanstown and his Chestnut Burr Candle-Holders and Burr Elm Bowls are proving very popular with both Irish and international buyers.
Paddy's designs have also caught the attention of film festival organisers. He was recently commissioned to design the ‘Short Film Award' at the Cinergy Film Festival in the North-East.
