Tirconaill studio is a small photography and framing studio in located in the northwest of Donegal. Founded by graphic designer and photographer Kevin McMonagle, the studio aims to capture the unique landscape of County Donegal through photography.

To preserve, showcase and share Tirconaill studio crafts custom frames in our picture framing workshop. These frames are designed to compliment the rugged landscapes of Donegal and the west of Ireland, and options are available to enhance any wall, room or space. We have also developed framing solutions that can be safely shipped anywhere in the world.

In addition to framing his own photography, Tirconaill studios offers full service framing and matting solutions to preserver and showcase your own photos, certifications or artwork.

I'm starting Tirconaill Studio's framing service because of the bother I've had getting my own prints framed locally, after the only framing shop in the area closed down. The closest alternatives are 45km away.

A background in design and photography, and a well developed eye, gives me an advantage in providing aesthetic advice and solutions within a framing business. I have worked in a framing shop previously and learned the business well, which is primarily helping artists and collectors, my area is full of both of these market segments.

After obtaining all of the required machinery, I soft-lauched last christmas by framing my own prints for local holiday craft markets. The response was overwhelmingly positive, however I quickly learned that most potential customers wanted a showroom to visit, to view examples and get inspiration. Originally I had only planned a pick up and drop off type service and did not foresee the importance of a wel stocked showroom. I put the brakes on.

Since then I have been busy creating a showroom space in my home which will be ready for opening at the end of next month.

With state-of-the-art picture framing equipment and an experieced eye, Tirconaill studio creates custom picture frames for artists, photographers and art collectors.  

Visit the studio showroom and workshop in Gortahork, Co. Donegal, and see how your artwork and memorabilia can be transformed and preserved into a piece that truly elevates your space.
