Celtic Folk Art Questions?

Question

Ok well it's only a couple of questions of which I think some people on here could answer for me. It would be really helpful if you did. I have already researched a lot on this but I just couldnt seem to find this information. If someone could help me that would be great. Thanks!
* When and where did folk art originate from
* What group of people started Celtic folk art and is it still being practiced today?
* Celtic folk arts primary type of artwork
* What materials are used in Celtic folk art
* What is the process of making Celtic folk art
* What happened that triggered this type of art?

* If you just so happen to know anyone who does Celtic folk art,like the name of the artist, please list them.



I know that I'm asking a lot but even if you can find something on one of the topics that would be helpful also! :-)
