Embroidered Artwork - Galway Hooker - Gleoiteog
Galway Hooker - Gleoiteog
Inspired by MJ's childhood in County Galway and designed to celebrate Irish sailing traditions, particularly that of the renowned Galway Hooker fishing boat.
The Gleoiteog, a smaller variant of the traditional Galway Hooker, is a distinctive Irish sailing boat with a pointed bow and a gaff-rigged sail, originally used for fishing and transporting goods along the coasts of Galway Bay. I (MJ) was lucky enough to sail on a Gleoiteog as a very small child!
Each piece is completely unique, and made here in Ireland.
Size: 11cm diameter
Embroidered Hoop Art
Nautical and Adventure-Themed Hand Embroideries
Transform your space with exquisite hand-embroidered hoop art. Each piece is a unique work of art, meticulously crafted using a beech hoop, unbleached cotton or linen as a base, and a blend of silky cotton threads and bright embroidery floss. Some designs include an acrylic painted fabric base, adding an extra layer of texture and colour, while others incorporate left-over wool from the wool wear collection for added depth and character. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind artwork - no two are the same!
Inspired by my life aboard my boat, these embroideries capture the spirit of the sea and the joy of adventure, expeditions and exploring!
