Muckross Bookbindery - Original Kerry Crafts

Mucros Bookbindery and Paper Conservation Workshop

At our workshop, in Killarney National Park, we employ traditional bookbinding skills, with modern conservation methods, to provide the very best, all-round, care for items on paper.

We undertake rare book and paper repairs on early printed books, manuscripts and maps, as well as on leather bindings and vellum documents. The only materials that we use are of archival quality and are acid free.

Completed project in presentation box

Over the past thirty years, we have worked closely with many clients throughout the country, from libraries, colleges and museums, to the antiquarian and book publishing trades. Our reputation for a high quality service has largely grown by word of mouth. We are happy to advise you on how to protect your collections for the future.

We enjoy the variety and challenges of our work, from the rebinding and repair of books, to disaster response for those collections damaged by floodwaters or fire. For more see our Website.

If you would like to discuss a particular project,

Mucros Pottery

Did you know that for almost thirty years a unique range of hand-thrown pottery has been skilfully crafted by Margaret Phelan right here in Muckross? The designs of this pottery are inspired by the scenic beauty, rich history and culture of Ireland and the beautiful National Park which is home to Muckross. This pottery proudly carries the name 'Mucros', the Irish name for Muckross.

Every piece of our pottery is hand made in the Craft Centre; we even have a viewing gallery in our Craft Shop where you can watch as the pottery is made, from beginning to completion! The entire range of pottery is available in our Craft Shop, just upstairs from where its produced.

The distinctive honey and blue glazes have been the hallmark of our quality pottery for over ten years, and now a new range has been introduced for this year, the Sandstorm range. We will have pictures of this beautiful new range shortly; in the meantime here is some information on the classic blue and honey range which we still produce.
