Michael and Kevin Casey are artists who create beautiful sculptures from bogwood found in Irish bogs. You are invited to their workshop and studio, located in Newtowncashel, County Longford.
Bogwood is found in Irish bogs, where it has been preserved for 5,000 years. This wood once formed part of the great forest that covered the central plains of Ireland in ancient times.
The father and son team at Casey's Bogwood Sculptures has spent 60 years producing sculptures in Bog Oak that have seen them become masters of their art.
Known widely the world over, smaller pieces are displayed at their studio gift shop in Newtowncashel, County Longford. To avoid disappointment, please ring the studio before visiting.
