Blasket Islands

The Blasket Islands are emblematic of our county’s past: the years of Peig Sayers and her memoirs, of brave fisherman stitched for recognition, an oil-lamp fraternity of world renowned Irish writers, and finally, submission to the harsh reality of immigration and the total abandonment of their island way of life in 1956. Yet the Blasket Islands have risen again from the Atlantic sea to become a beacon of Irish folklore and culture, honouring the incredible fortitude of our island forbearers and recognising the literary prowess of its Celtic writers.

Our Process

Every artwork is individually printed by Giles and embossed with his signature stamp, certifying it as an original, authentic print — never a mass-produced reproduction. This seal is your guarantee that the piece in your hands is museum-quality and genuinely his own work.

Every photograph is printed and framed entirely in-house, in Giles' own studio in Kinsale — just steps from the gallery. This hands-on approach allows Giles to oversee every stage of production, from print to final frame, ensuring the same meticulous standard he has upheld since 1988.

Our professional framing is built to last, crafted from solid wood with a clean, understated design that lets the photograph take centre stage. We use plexiglass glazing rather than standard glass — cutting reflections by up to 20%, resisting scratches and abrasions, and blocking up to 99% of UV rays to keep your artwork looking its best for years to come.

Every order leaves us gift-wrapped in premium paper, ready to give or display. Because many of our pieces travel internationally, each photograph is carefully packaged, tracked, and insured — so you can trust it will arrive safely, wherever it's going.
