Project Kells: Inspired by the Book of Kells and its mesmerizing patterns women amongst the vellum pages, Project Kells evolved. This is a unique collection of games and puzzles steeped in the ancient legends of Ireland’s Celtic heritage and royal past. Rachel Arbuckle: Dublin born artist Rachel Arbuckle graduated from Dublin’s National College of Art and Design in 1990. She has always been fascinated by our Celtic heritage. Inspiration found in the intricate knotwork adorning the ancient manuscripts, stone and metalwork, coupled with Rachel’s love of a good story, have combined to produce some of the most popular images in contemporary Irish Celtic art. Her colours, although modern, emulate the softness of the natural pigments used by the Celts and a discerning eye will recognize shades of both Tuscany, where Rachel currently lives, and the Beara Peninsula, where she thrives on the rugged West Coast of Ireland. Today her work is available worldwide, bringing a taste of Ireland to the four corners of the earth. St. Brendan: St. Brendan was born in 486 AD and founded a monastery at Clonfert, County Galway. Brendan travelled widely; he was said to have set sail with a handful of monks on a perilous seven-year quest across the Atlantic in a boat of wood and oxhide. En route, legend tells us that they were raised up on the backs of “sea monsters” (whales), they passed by “crystal columns that rose up to the sky” (icebergs) and they were pelted with “flaming, foul-smelling rocks” (from a volcano). Eventually, the intrepid voyagers arrived at a beautiful land they called the “Promised Land of the Saints”, an island which became a standard feature on maps for the next millennium. It is widely believed that St. Brendan the Navigator and his monks had in fact arrived in American almost 1,000 years before Christopher Colombus.
