My name is Clodagh Molloy and I am an Etsy Addict

I have a serious problem, I am an etsy addict and a very proud member of the Etsy Ireland Team. My shop is Clodagh Molloy Jewellery. I have always had an interest in art and craft. I was brought up in a creative family. My father, a landscape painter, and my bother, trained in glass working but now a wrought iron furniture maker, were the biggest and best creative influences in my life. My fondest memory is going to art galleries on a Sunday afternoon with my father. I followed my brothers footsteps and went to the National College of Art and Design. I studied craft design specialising in Metal. Four of the best years of my like.

I am at my happiest and most content when I am in my tiny studio. Hoping to one day have a larger space to work in. However I am happy to have a space I can call my own. I love making custom orders. As a result you will see me regularly checking out the Custom section on Etsy.

I have worked as a jeweller in Finland (Turku) and America (San francisco and San Mateo) as well as here in Ireland. In Ireland I have worked for Alan Ardiff and Breda Haugh, as well as a Jewellery wholesaler. I have also worked in the Dublin Assay Office where all the jewellery made and imported in Ireland is hallmarked for authenticity. I would love to be able to support myself solely from my own work. One step at a time I will get there.


Thanks to all

Clodagh
