Studio Donegal Kilcar, located on the outskirts of the southern village, has played home to an authentic hand weaving mill for over one hundred years. As with most burgeoning companies the mill also tried to make their business more modern. In the sixties they incorporated, what was then, modern machinery into the mill in the hope that it would boost their business. The experiment failed and it became apparent that the move into more modern practices meant that the true Irish essence of the mill had been lost.<\/p>
The mill was reopened ten years later under the leadership of Kevin and Wendy Donaghy. They christened it Studio Donegal and it was their aim to restore the magic that had originally existed in the mill. They reintroduced the practices of traditional hand weaving and it continues to commit to preserving and promoting the original hand weaving skills passed down through generations in the remote mountainous region of South-West Donegal.<\/p>
Today, thirty years on, Studio Donegal is under its second generation of family ownership. Tristan, Kevin and Wendy\u2019s eldest son, has continued the fine practices and methods ingrained into the business by his parents.<\/p>
