Mauricio Martino of Heartworks Handmade Gifts works almost entirely in salvaged slate to create unique clocks, mirrors, picture frames and a variety of other handmade slate design products and handmade gifts. Each hand crafted slate piece is designed and handmade in his Tullamore studio in the centre of Ireland. Heartwork's slate designs and handmade gifts feature etched patterns and decorative flourishes of metallic paints in earthy rusts, gold, bronze, and vibrant colours.
Heartworks also work to commission, creating unique handmade pieces that offer more scope and creative freedom. It is often these one-off pieces that will inspire a new range of handmade gift products, a new use of colour or introduce a new style or shape.
