Is there something special you would like to have made? I am happy to take custom orders. Any of my existing designs can be amended to make them more personal and unique. I can add a specific number of characters, with characteristics such as gender or hair colour that will make them recognisable and personal to you. I can add text, such as names, dates or quotes.

Ceramics Crafted with Passion and Coastal Inspiration

Working from my small home studio in the seaside town of Tramore along the Copper Coast, I create unique, handmade pieces of pottery inspired by my fascination with the ocean. My pieces are made using stoneware clay in small batches and glazed with colours that reflect the beauty of the sea. My handcrafted artistry brings a touch of fun and whimsy to my work, portraying those special memories spent by the sea. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you have any queries or comments, I would love to hear from you.

About ME

My pottery journey began with an evening pottery class run by the local secondary school, where I instantly felt totally at home with muddy hands! I went on to do some group and individual lessons with Vivien O’Malley, an amazing potter and teacher based in Dunhill Ecopark. Soon, doing a weekly lesson wasn’t enough so I created a space in my garage and invested in a wheel and small kiln.

The Studio

My pottery is made using a white stoneware clay. It is either thrown on the wheel or hand built using rolled out slabs of clay. It is slowly dried before being put into the kiln for a bisque firing. Once the piece is cooled it is taken out of the kiln and decorated using underglazes and glazes. It is then fired for a second time, up to temperatures of 12500.
