Fanad Head Lighthouse
$22.00
At the mouth of Lough Swilly, where Donegal turns its hardest corner into the Atlantic. The lighthouse was built after the loss of HMS Saldanha in 1811. The lamp was first lit in 1817, on a tower designed by George Halpin. The keepers' cottages still stand around it; a few have been opened for overnight stays, and the wind on the headland does not stop. The Wild Atlantic Way reaches it from the south. From the north there is nothing else: only the sea, and the lamp that has been kept here for two hundred years.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
