Slievemore Editions

Slievemore Editions

Slievemore Editions began as a small-batch fine art printmaking studio and has naturally evolved into a space where photography and creative exploration thrive. Founded by photographer and printer Stephen Russell Shilling, it draws its name and inspiration from Slievemore (Sliabh Mór), a striking mountain on Achill Island. Like the mountain and the island it belongs to, the studio embodies a quiet strength, a connection to nature, and a love for timeless beauty.

When I first visited Achill Island in 2013, it left an indelible mark on me. Like much of Ireland’s western coast, Achill is a weathered place, shaped by the wind and rain sweeping in from the Atlantic. The island’s rugged landscapes, shifting light, and quiet resilience make even the simplest scenes—an old stone wall, a patch of grass, or a fleeting sunbeam—feel extraordinary. This interplay of natural forces and subtle beauty inspires everything I create at Slievemore Editions, from finely crafted prints to programs that celebrate mindful creativity.

Cairn Stones is Sleivemore Editions newsletter. Much like how cairns are used to show travelers where they’re going and where they’ve come from, Cairn Stones is where you’ll find updates about projects and what is happening at the print shop.
