What Our Clients Say About Us
Sean CliffordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an enjoyable weekend at the course. Zach, Ceaser and Kilian took their time with each of us. Great Course. Would definitely recommend it. Glen Courtney (Mindbeyondbody)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely amazing time at OβFlaherty Stone from the very start. Killian and Zachery were absolute gents and looked after us so well, helping and guiding us as we created exactly what we wanted on granite stone. The whole experience honestly felt like a meditation in itself β you get completely focused and lost in the process. We made a cat in the moon and a flower, and it was such a unique and enjoyable experience. Weβd highly recommend it to anyone who hasnβt tried it yet. Itβs something different, creative, and really rewarding. We would definitely do it again in a heartbeat! Jennifer SheahanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The stone carving workshop was a wonderful experience. It was great to see the skill of a master stonemason, to learn about the craft and the materials, and to get totally absorbed in the task of carving. Aoife FinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently took part in a stone carving workshop with Killian and his team, and honestly, it was one of the most grounding and rewarding experiences Iβve had in a long time. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was so welcoming, relaxed, and inspiring. The setting itself was beautiful and peaceful, making it so easy to completely switch off from everyday life and fully immerse yourself in the craft. We were each given huge slabs of granite to work on, which made the whole experience feel incredibly authentic and hands on. I loved being able to carve whatever we wanted and then bring the finished piece home afterwards, it felt so personal and meaningful. Thereβs something really special about working with stone and creating something with your own hands from start to finish. Killian and his team were absolutely fantastic teachers. They explained everything so clearly, showed us exactly how to get started, and gave everyone the confidence to trust the process and find their own rhythm. They struck the perfect balance between guidance and freedom, always encouraging creativity while making sure everyone felt supported. The chats throughout the day, the shared laughs and the overall atmosphere made the experience unforgettable. It was one of those rare days where you completely lose track of time because youβre so present in what youβre doing. I only did the one-day workshop and genuinely wish I did the full two days because I could have happily stayed longer. I already know Iβll be back again. I couldnβt recommend this experience enough to anyone looking to try something different, creative, therapeutic, and deeply satisfying. Linus F.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great place with great professionals Robbie O'ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A really excellent experience. Cillian and the team have created a really relaxed environment where it doesnt matter what your background is , everybody finished with a lovely piece of carving and has a great time doing so. I'd have no hesitation to recommend this course. Domino WhiskerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked myself into the stone carving workshop not knowing what to expect and was really blown away by the whole experience. The challenge of stone carving in itself was both humbling and enlightening. Giving me a much deeper respect for the craft and the buildings that surround me every day in Dublin . It was exciting to see Killian and his crew of apprentices so passionate about their craft and have an opportunity to learn in such a positive environment. Not to mention the setting of ballyknockan being a beautiful backdrop to the weekend. What Killian and his family have established is really special and I highly recommend everyone take a chance on this workshop, it was a challenge but incredibly rewarding. Thanks so much to Killian and Zach for all of their help and wisdom. Patrick QuinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb workshop and it was very informative.

The lads were great teachers. Would recommend to anyone interested :) Barry McCormickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended the 2 day Stone Carving course. Cannot compliment all involved enough. Instructors, family and employees were generous with their time and knowledge as only true craftspeople confident in their skills can be. Would recommend it to anyone regardless of age, gender or skill level. Who would have thought that a weekend working with granite could be so relaxing?
