About this episode

Alice Boyd visits female luthier Muireann Ní Sheoighe Eachthighearn to explore the sounds of her craft.

For February’s Found Sound, Alice Boyd visits Muireann Ní Sheoighe Eachthighearn, one of only a handful of female luthiers, or fiddle makers, working in Ireland. Alice records the many interesting sounds of Muireann’s practice - from a chisel in maple to the sound of water hitting a hot bending iron. Found Sounds are sonic scrapbooks of field recordings and interviews with people keeping heritage crafts alive. They are part of As the Season Turns , an award-winning podcast created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume. To find out more visit www.ffern.co Hosted on Acast.
