About the artist

Dominic Dolan has been working in precious metals and other materials for as long as he can remember. Starting out in his father’s workshop, he continued in the West End of London, with some of the larger houses and in the world famous Carnaby Street. From there he went to Rome, where he freelanced as a designer and jeweller. Finally, he returned to Kinsale where he runs his silversmith business Kinsale Silver.
