Rowena Sheen earned a Craft Design degree from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, specializing in metals and jewelry. After working in costume making for theatre, film, and television, a desire for independent design and a return to the west of Ireland led to a move back to Clare in 2016. Since then, she has created a unique collection of handmade wooden jewelry, using locally sourced, sustainable Irish materials whenever possible. She works from a studio at the Courthouse Gallery in Ennistymon, Co. Clare.
