Mary makes small, delicate pieces of the famous Irish Carrickmacross Lace from her studio in Carrigslaney-close to Altamont Gardens. All pieces are designed by Mary featuring Irish symbols including the Shamrock and Claddagh. Each piece of her work is signed, dated and numbered and is presented as a framed wall piece that makes an attractive gift for any home.

Carrickmacross Lace originated in the early 1820’s and its style was inspired by some examples of appliqué lace collected by Mrs Grey Porter of Donaghmoyne, near Carrickmacross in County Monaghan, while on her honeymoon in Italy in 1816.
