We came upon Criostal na Rinne by accident - no by serendipity! We had a few hours between a wedding and reception and saw a sign for a crystal shop. Eamonn was in his workshop area on a Saturday afternoon working on custom crystal pieces for an upcoming golf tournament. He stopped what he was working on and took us through the process of cutting crystal and showed us how he started, his past career with Waterford crystal and what it takes to be a master craftsman. You wouldn't guess how busy he is based on the time he took to tell us about his craft. He did this all without the idea that we were there to buy anything. His work is exquisite - as attested to his being selected to make the St. Patrick's Day Cup that was sent to the US White House this year.
Many thumbs up - and many thanks to Eamonn! read more
