Ogham Wish

The Story: Ogham Wish is the work of Ethel Kelly, who started the business from scratch more than 20 years ago and grew it into an award-winning Irish craft brand. Today it remains a small family company in Knockcroghery, with Ethel's daughter Sarah following in her mother's footsteps and bringing fresh ideas to the family trade.

The workshop is based at the Claypipe Centre, on the site of an old claypipe factory in the heart of the Irish midlands. From there, Ogham Wish celebrates Ireland's earliest writing system through framed gifts for homes, weddings, babies, graduations, thank-yous and family milestones.

The Process: Each order is handmade onsite, then created, assembled and packed with care. Names, Irish words and short messages are translated into Ogham-style linear marks, painted and framed so the ancient script becomes personal to the recipient. Every piece is accompanied by text explaining Ogham writing, with Gaelic and English translations to help the story travel with the gift.

Bespoke Options: Ogham Wish is especially strong for personalised creations, including names, dates, Irish words and short messages for weddings, new babies, graduations, new homes and thank-you gifts.
