Basking in the renowned splendour of Connemara in Co. Galway, Letterfrack is a small village nestled under the Diamond Hill. Its main attractions are its stunning scenery and its proximity to Connemara National Park.

Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology's courses in Letterfrack are run in partnership with Connemara West (a community and rural development organisation based in North-West Connemara). Since 1987, the partnership has managed and run furniture courses.

The aim of GMIT, Letterfrack is to enable its graduates to contribute to, and influence, the fields of design processes and manufacture of furniture in ways that are innovative, creative and responsive to the needs and development of a quality Irish furniture industry.
