Mette Heads Back To School

Mette gets ready for her close-up…

t was 16 years ago this weekend that Mette O’Connor moved her AMOC jewellery emporium into the old Tino’s premises on Church Road…

And it was way back in 2007 that the young lass first started handcrafting her unique and bespoke jewellery above Bochelli’s.

So, the Danish delight has come a long way, baby. And now that includes being part of a new tutorial library, for those wanting to learn the wily and wicked witchcraft that is AMOC.

Which stands for Anne Mette O’Connor, just in case you were wondering.

“I’m really honoured to be asked to be part of his new tutorial library,” Mette tells the snoreaway Guide. “It’s part of the Schoolhouse For Art over in Enniskerry, and it’s all about sharing the knowledge and traditional artisan skills in the craft industry.

“It’s crucial that we keep these ancient handmade crafts alive, for future generations…”
