We’re proud to shine a spotlight on one of our talented ShopInIreland.ie Ambassadors, Cian Magill, the creative mind and skilled craftsman behind Magill Woodcraft Ireland. Founded in 2016, Cian’s business brings the beauty of bespoke Irish woodcraft to life, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.   A graduate of GMIT Letterfrack in Furniture Design and Manufacture, Cian gained early experience in high-end furniture making, where he discovered his passion for the endless possibilities of working with wood. This passion guided him towards developing a unique style that celebrates both form and function.   Crafting Ireland’s Story in Wood Specialising in custom furniture and woodturning, Magill Woodcraft Ireland primarily serves the American-Irish market, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the timeless beauty of Irish design. Each piece is carefully made by hand, with an emphasis on quality, sustainability, and individuality. Whether it’s a stunning centrepiece for a home or a bespoke gift, every creation tells its own story through the natural character of the wood.   Creativity in the Blood Creativity runs deep in Cian’s family. Growing up with self-employed, artistic parents gave him both the inspiration and the determination to carve his own path. His background in the commercial art and film industry further shaped his eye for detail and design, giving him the confidence to combine artistry with entrepreneurship.   It’s this fusion of heritage, education and creativity that makes Magill Woodcraft Ireland stand out. Cian’s work embodies the best of Irish craftsmanship, thoughtful, authentic and beautifully made.   Discover the Art of Irish Woodcraft Every piece from Magill Woodcraft Ireland tells a story, crafted with care, precision and an eye for detail that is uniquely Irish. From elegant custom furniture to beautifully turned wooden objects, Cian’s creations are more than functional, they are works of art that bring warmth, character and craftsmanship into any space.     Proudly Representing Irish Makers   As a ShopInIreland.ie Ambassador, Cian proudly represents Irish craftsmanship at its finest. His work is a testament to the talent, dedication and creativity that make Ireland’s maker community so special. Whether you’re searching for a meaningful gift, a custom piece for your home or simply want to support local artisans, Magill Woodcraft Ireland is a perfect example of why buying Irish truly matters.

Uhooooo I'm Jojo from Creations4U. I create fun personalised gifts, for you, your family, your kids teacher, your granny and even your dog!     This all started when I had too much pandemic down time and my creativity just bubbled over. Continuously making items for friends and family as a graphic designer I had the skills and the know how to create these fun quirky personalised gifts, everyone was loving them and constantly telling me you should sell them, they're fab!  So for once I took their advice and did just that.   Starting with one or two personalised frames and look at me now, my side hussle is my day job and I love it. So lucky to be able to be part of peoples celebrations, it feels like a privilege. I'm always on the lookout for a fun new gift idea or tagline, so be careful if we're chatting....you could end up as my next product!     All my items are created by me, printed or made by me, packed by me and brought to the delivery depot....by me, I really am a one girl band so by supporting a small business like me you let one Dublin girl now living in Wicklow (yes I followed the fella!) live out her dream of being her own boss and creating lovely things.
