Seamus Cassidy, a native of County Meath was born in 1961 and brought
up on a farm. After completing his Leaving Certificate in 1978 in
CBS Kells he went on to study Construction Studies in the Regional
Technical College, Dundalk. After qualifying he moved to Dublin to
work for a number of architectural firms.
While working in Dublin he took up woodwork as a hobby. A passion
soon developed for working with wood and a real talent was apparent.
His experience in design and drawing has been invaluable in enabling
him to produce unique and creative pieces.
Seamus left Dublin in 1996 moved back to Co. Meath, his native
county. He renovated an old Carthouse as a workshop and gallery.
When you stumble upon this studio with its old world charm it seems
like you have unearthed a treasure in this rural setting (although
only 25 miles from Dublin). The richness and quality of his work,
the innovative design in both his turning and furniture pieces undeniably
cry master craftsmanship. The finish on all pieces is exquisite.
Seamus has exhibited at the prestigious National Crafts Competition
at the Royal Dublin Society on a number of occasions.
Commissions for pieces - large or small - can be arranged by contacting
Seamus.
Seamus's artistic work is sold exclusively through his own gallery.
