My Story
I create contemporary hand-thrown stoneware and porcelain pieces that are both functional and decorative. With over 15 years of experience as a graphic designer, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for form and color. My design background influences my ceramics, giving them a simple, clean style. Every piece is designed to transform everyday moments… like a quiet cup of tea… into a thoughtful, calming ritual.
From my studio in Kinsale, I handcraft unique porcelain and stoneware pieces. Each piece is consciously made to be functional, vibrant, and contemporary… designed to fit seamlessly into your home and daily rituals. Drawing inspiration from the coastal hues and vibrant Irish hedgerows, I like to think my pottery celebrates the beauty of our natural environment through modern design.
Stoneware.
This pottery collection showcases vibrant, hand-thrown pieces using flecked stoneware, when fired the iron particles in the clay reveals in a dappling of freckles under the satin matte glazes. The combination of both textured clay and satin glazes results in a tactile finish that feels comforting to hold in your hands. I love to experiment with various shapes and sizes while staying true to my signature style of clean lines and a bold color palette. Recently, I've started blending stoneware and porcelain clays. The smooth white consistency of porcelain adds an extra depth to the flecked stoneware and enhances the overall vibrancy of the colourful glazes I use.
Porcelain.
I work with Ming porcelain. It is exceptionally smooth and fires to a pure, radiant white, providing an ideal canvas for decorating. After allowing each piece to dry slowly, they are hand-painted with coloured slips and fired at 1,000 degrees celsius. Once glazed on the interior with a thin layer of clear gloss, each piece undergoes a final firing to complete the process.
