Full description

Why Book a Crystal Workshop Tour? Our company offers a unique, hands-on experience where travelers can witness the art of handcrafted crystal in its purest form. Founded by master craftsman Sean Daly, our workshop is one of the last of its kind in Ireland, producing crystal entirely by hand. Each piece is signed and dated by Sean, ensuring authenticity. Our designs are inspired by the stunning West Kerry landscape, blending natural beauty with centuries-old craftsmanship. We offer small, personal tours for up to 30 people, where visitors can watch skilled artisans, including Sean himself, at work. Located just outside Dingle town, our workshop is exclusive—our crystal is only available here or at our Dingle store. We are also dog-friendly, with our two lovable factory dogs adding warmth to your visit. Tours are affordable and last about an hour, including time to explore our shop.

Very interesting!

This was a fascinating demonstration. We really enjoyed our visit to the factory. It was a great stop! There are not very many people that have crystal cutting talents! We bought some beautiful pieces !

Dingle Crystal Demo

We called in adhoc to have a look around and we're fortunate to see the crystal cutting demonstration with Sean Daly, the owner. Extremely friendly and happy to chat about his business, his career before this at Waterford crystal clearly loves what he does and it shows. It was really enjoyable and well worth venturing out of town. Bonus bought 2 large glasses - Solus design.

Dingle Crystal Rocks

We went on a 10 day tour with Mark Doherty of Connect the Dots, and thoroughly enjoyed the crystal cutting demonstration at Dingle Crystal. The craftmanship and pride in their product combined with being a family business was an inspiration. They recently developed a new design called The Trinity, you HAVE to see it!
