Ceardach

Ceardach (plural: ceardacha) is an Irish word meaning a workshop or forge. It refers specifically to a place where metalwork is carried out, often involving blacksmithing or other crafts that require a forge. The term evokes a space of making, crafting, and skill, traditionally associated with the working of iron and other metals. It often implies a place of creation and ingenuity, where raw materials are transformed into useful objects. In some contexts, it can also refer more broadly to a workshop used for other crafts, though its primary association remains with metalworking.
