Heartworks Handcrafted Slate Mirrors, Clocks and Picture Frames. The Gate Lodge, Charleville Estate, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland. Introduction Heartworks was established in 1999 and since then has been dedicated to creating high quality handmade clocks, mirrors and picture frames, all made using natural and, in most cases, reclaimed materials. Throughout this last decade the craftsman, Mauricio Martino, has developed a unique and distinctive style that conveys a mix of precision and creativity, and reflects both his personality and approach to design. He takes an inexhaustible pride in his work, which is evident in the end result. Having studied architecture in his native Chile, he developed a love for and keen awareness of art and design. His penchant for lines and curves along with his ability to blend colours show through in the shape and decorative element of his work. His pieces demand to be admired; the careful attention to detail, the exquisite interaction of curves and lines, the mingling together of colours, hues and tints, all add to the perfection of his work. Clocks No two of our clocks are the same as each one gets the individual attention it deserves. They range from small (6”x 4”) to medium (8”x 8”) to large (18”x 5”) in the case of wall clocks. The pendulum clocks (26”x 6”) have proven to be very popular. All our clocks come in a range of different designs (for full range see our website). Mirrors As is the case with all our products, each and every mirror gets special treatment, depending on the natural features of the material, so no two look alike. There are basically three different types: Gothic, rectangular and over mantel. Picture Frames A relatively recent addition to the Heartworks line, they come in various sizes; 7”x 5”, 8”x 6”, 10”x 8”, 12”x 10”, 14”x 11” and triple 7”x 5”. Commissioned Pieces At Heartworks, we love to work to commission and welcome customers with specific requirements to approach us with their ideas. To date, with the help of these special requests, we have made tables and book shelves, accessories such as place mats and coasters, custom made mirrors, and signs for houses and shop fronts. It is in these commissioned pieces where Mauricio’s artistic ability truly comes to the fore. So don’t hesitate to contact us! Heartworks use only reclaimed slate. Unlike newly quarried slate, which tends to be uniformly textured, the features of reclaimed slate are infinitely diverse, since it comes from a variety of sources.
