I spent the most fabulous day with Aoife creating a one of a kind piece of artwork to remind me of my trip to Galway. She is the most talented and patient teacher. You will come away with a beautiful piece of jewelry that you created yourself from start to finish. You can also purchase her own creations if you... More

The workshop in the bone carving studio was a fantastic experience! Aoife was brilliant; patient, helpful, easy going and very pleasant to spend the day with. I am totally un-artistic but under her instruction and assistance managed to make a pendant I am really happy with! I thought the day was excellent value for money and would definitely recommend this... More

This was one of the coolest things I've done. Aoife is so kind, a great teacher and an overall lovely person to spend an afternoon with, drinking tea and making art out of bones. More

It is a fascinating process and really satisfying to see the finished piece come up looking so beautiful... More

Spent a fantastic day with the talented and humble aoife in galway last tuesday.

Small class sizes mean more time with teacher, as we all know, but enough space was given to really focus on your... More

The fact that I had to feed my baby on the side several times slowed me down quite a bit, but Aiofe was extremely gracious about helping me out all day. I was able to create a piece for my baby, which... More

Aoife McGough is a very talented young woman who is remarkable for both her personal skill as an artist as well as her intrapersonal skills in teaching her passion and communicating her genuine pleasure over the results emanating from her students. She is patient, helpful, and encouraging. The more complex the piece you design, the longer the day, however, it... More

My 10 year old daughter and I spent the day with Aofie in her beautiful studio. We created 2 beautiful pieces of art with Aofie's gentle help at every turn. Aofie was wonderful - perfect in fact. Helpful when we wanted and so gentle in terms of maybe think about xx or yy. Her studio is a place of beauty... More

I chose a piece that was probably a little challenging considering it was my first time. There is quite a bit to carving out of bone, but I have to say Aoife is a fantastic teacher, she guided me step by step through the whole process, making sure that i used the right tool, in the correct way and kept...
