Quinn's Craftshop

Quinn’s Craftshop sits on the main street of Ballyvaughan, a village in County Clare set between the limestone hills of the Burren and the southern shore of Galway Bay. The Quinn family have run a store on this site in Ballyvaughan for well over a century, and George Quinn is on hand to advise on the provenance of the stock and to share his knowledge of the surrounding Burren.

The focus throughout is on genuine Irish-made goods, chosen from individual craftspeople and artists rather than mass-produced souvenirs. Stock includes traditional Aran hand-knits and other quality knitwear, Irish clothing and accessories, locally made pottery and ceramics, silver jewellery, and prints. You will also find sculptures worked in bronze and bog oak, along with books, music and gifts, as well as titles on the Burren and County Clare.

Its position on Ballyvaughan’s main street makes it an easy stop while exploring the wider Burren region, and the emphasis on locally sourced, well-made pieces means the shop suits anyone looking for a genuine keepsake or a considered gift with an Irish provenance.
