Ken Bolger
Fáilte, welcome to The Sleeping Giant, County Kerry & the home of Artist Ken Bolger.
A Graduate of Ireland’s National College of Art and Design, Ken Bolger is a native of Dublin city and an adopted son of Kerry and the wild Dingle Peninsula where he raised his family and built his home and workshop since the late ‘90s.
The Dingle Peninsula
The Dingle Peninsula is a hive of ancient history and contains some of the best scenic views in Ireland.
Rolling hills and mountains surrounded by the rugged Atlantic coast line that has been inhabited for thousands of years by a range of peoples dating back to the ancient Celts and today by a community of people that have been able to uphold rich traditions of the past.
Mission –
Sustainability
Ken carries a deep belief in sustainability throughout his art and craftwork. He combines recycled materials and ancient techniques to craft pieces that are an expression of the land where they come from.
The Valentia Slate, sourced locally, is not fit for its original purpose, but makes for an amazing fine art medium.
