About

Ogham is the earliest known written alphabet in Ireland, dating back to the 4th century AD. It consists of a series of notches or lines carved along a central axis, each representing a letter. The carvings can still be found on over 400 surviving stones across the British Isles, most of them in the southern areas of Ireland- but we are lucky enough to have one in Co. Tyrone, which is set in an extremely beautiful place. 

When I create my Ogham inscriptions (pronounced “Oh-am”), I use a transliteration method. This means I adapt the sounds of modern letters to represent characters that don’t exist in the original Ogham script, making the inscriptions readable for names and words we use today.

I’m based in Antrim and studied archaeology at Queen’s University Belfast. My work combines a passion for Ireland’s ancient history with creative craftsmanship — I hope you’ll find something meaningful and beautiful among my pieces.

I work with the traditional material, stone, and create carvings with ogham inscriptions which can be made to your own specification. I also work with slate and wood slabs to carve designs and inscriptions. With each piece, I hope I become better at my craft. Yew is my favourite wood to work with as it is so sacred to the Irish- it is said to protect and ward off evil spirits around graveyards and cemeteries. It also smells gorgeous when its being carved.
