Hope - Dóchas is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Hope hand-painted in Ireland’s ancient script ogham is a perfect hand-made gift to show your encouragement for a special person when all seems lost. Give your friend a little bit of inspiration today!
Ogham writing is Ireland’s ancient script, often found inscribed on standing stones and in sacred places throughout Ireland’s rural landscape.
Ethel Kelly’s award winning range of hand painted Ogham Wishes continue to enchant and delight. At her traditional workshop in Knockcroghery village in County Roscommon, each Ogham Wish is individually painted by Ethel on hand made paper and beautifully framed in a contemporary black wooden frame.
We have been friends with Ethel for many years and have had the pleasure of visiting her and her family in her workshop. We enjoyed hearing the story of how they discovered that the building had been the home of a clay pipe maker for several generations. They found the original oven in the wall and a ton of broken pipes buried in the garden.
