Basket Maker
Déantóir ciseán é Ciaran Hogan a oibríonn i gCeardlann an Spidéil. Mar a rinne a athair roimhe, díríonn sé go speisialta ar chiseáin saileacha an-láidre a dhéanamh. Fásann sé a chuid crann saileach féin agus baineann sé na slatracha chuile bhliain. Dathanna nádúrtha as na slatracha sin atá sna dathanna éagsúla a bhíonn ina chiseáin. Déanann sé ciseáin ar mhéideanna difriúla, ó chléibh mhóra móna go dtí ciseáin bheaga aráin agus chuile rud idir eatarthu ar nós ciseáin siopadóireachta agus ciseáin éadaí.
Eagraím cúrsaí freisin do dhaoine a mbeadh suim acu tabhairt faoin gceird. Tar isteach agus buail faoi; is cinnte go mbainfidh tú an-sásamh as.
Ciaran Hogan is a basket maker working from the Spiddal craft village.Following in my father’s footsteps I specialises in really strong willow baskets. I grow my own willow which I harvests every year. The various colours in my baskets are natural colours from my harvest. The baskets I make vary from large turf baskets to small bread baskets and everything in-between like shopping baskets, cradles, and Linen baskets.
I also put on weekend courses for those who would like to give it a go. I charge €140 for the two days including materials. Over the weekend you’ll get to make two baskets and guaranteed to have an unbeweaveable time.
