Cork Stone Featured in Clocha na hÉireann – The Stones of Ireland Monument

Aug 15, 2016 · Victor

Victor Daly’s carving of County Cork has taken pride of place on a new national monument

Victor was very proud to represent Cork as the carver of the county’s stone for the ‘Clocha na hÉireann’ or ‘Stones of Ireland’ monument erected in Glencolmcille in Donegal. The monument is a map of Ireland made up from individual pieces of stone carved by people from each of the counties of Ireland.

The project was commissioned to commemorate the centenary of 1916, and it celebrates the crafstmanship and tradition represented by stone carvers from across the island of Ireland.

The monument, which is located opposite the Glencolmcille Folk Park, as part of the Tirconnell Folk Festival 2016.

An Enriching Experience [Review]

I highly recommend for anyone interested in stone carving to come on one of your courses.

Or anyone wanting something completely different to anything they've done before. The setting is peaceful. The scenery is stunning.

Being with you Victor in the studio was like reaching back into history. Your skill and knowledge is priceless.

You have to experience it to believe it and I think everyone should try this!

Downright Joyous! [Review]

Profoundly satisfying. Downright joyous! A day spent with Victor learning to shape stone was deeply peaceful and enlivening, going from never having used a chisel and a mallet before to becoming confident I could, and very much wanted to, carve on my own.
 
To have access to the advice and guidance, the more than 20 years of craftsmanship and knowledge, the skill and the appreciation of the medium that Victor possesses…to be able to observe and question and do all in the same day was very valuable to me.
 
He is an excellent teacher—knowledgeable, generous, clear, calm and patient . His kind encouragement and offers of support are likely to be exploited very soon – I’m already checking out the stone carving equipment available here in Dublin and anticipating when I might get back to the .
