I am a basket maker located in the Spiddal Craft Village in Connemara, I work from my studio which is open to the public. I also run courses for those that would like to give it a go. My normal opening hours are 10.00 to 5.30 Monday to Saturday and 11 to 5.30 on Sunday Mid April through to October, Open weekends in March. The reason for these hours is that I am very busy doing my residential courses in the off season. If your coming out specially to see me its advisable to call first in case I'm away on other business.

Déantóir ciseán é Ciaran Hogan a oibríonn in ionad ceardaíochta an Spidéil. Mar a rinne a athair roimhe, díríonn sé go speisialta ar chiseáin saileacha an-láidre a dhéanamh. Fásann sé a chuid crann saileach féin agus baineann sé na slatracha chuile bhliain. Dathanna nádúrtha as na slatracha sin atá sna dathanna éagsúla a bhíonn ina chiseáin. Déanann sé ciseáin ar mhéideanna difriúla, ó chléibh mhóra móna go dtí ciseáin bheaga aráin agus chuile rud idir eatarthu ar nós ciseáin siopadóireachta agus ciseáin éadaí.
