Hi all,
I am traveling to Ireland next summer for about a month and would be
intrested in knowing of any clay art folks with studios in the area (the
country), or whats going on there that I should look for.
Thanks for any suggestions!

along with other types of handwork studios. (New York: Hearst Books 1994)

I'm traveling to County Tipperary and County Mayo in May. Any suggestions on
how to locate potters there? Thanks!

I was over in County Mayo this summer. There are a few potters about.
All were firing with electricity and no gas. I suppose gas is as
expensive there as it is cheap here in Alberta. I can't remember where
they are but the tourist board has a brochure that lists a number of
potters. Try to find that brochure and you shouldn't have a problem.

Going to Ireland this fall. I would be grateful for any tips Clayarters
might have. What potteries should I make a special point to see? My
traveling companion has heard that there is approximately one pottery shop
every mile, & has refused to stop at every one. Thanks for any help that you
can give.

Leave your traveling partner behind (or to his/her own devices) and visit any shop you want!

Hi Ann,
While there are alot of potters in Ireland, they don't exist every mile!
It's a big country to get around for a small country-it's the roads! Allow
twice as much time as you think you will need to get places! My first advice
is to try to stay awhile in an area and get to know it. If you are in Kerry,
on the Iveragh peninsula, stop in and see potters Bob Hollis and his wife
Emma, near Ballinskellings. hey have a brochure of a Creative Crafts trail
of individual artists' studios. There is also an art center nearby that has
a nice representation of artists' work, and some sculptural clay pieces that
are interesting, using a gravelly type of glaze. Just head toward
Ballinskelligs and you'll find it. As you are leaving Waterville, there is a
nice craft shop: just at the turn for Ballinskelligs too, with a variety of
lovely pottery. Also down that way is Louis Mulcahy pottery out on the
Dingle peninsula, a huge showroom with tons of functional pots, and the
weavings of his wife Lisbeth. At the craft center in dingle a woman doing
low fired brightly colored pieces has a shop there. In the midlands, there
is a couple near Clonmacnoise doing really nice salt fired work- the
O'Briens. Probably the best selection of Irish potters is at the Kilkenny
CRaft shop right across from Trinity College, where you should defintiely go
to see the Book of Kells exhibit. The shop has potters from all over the
country represented- some of it slick but a good overview. Louis Mulcahy
also has an outlet in Dublin, not far from Trinity. Both Galway and Sligo
have some interesting potters also, and there is a nice craft center just
outside Donegal town. check out the Irish Crafts Council website for
listings of artists in each media and where they are located, they will also
send you a booklet......I can send along the address if you can't find it on
the net.
A couple of years ago a woman on clayart sent me a listing of all the
potters and artists she visited in Ireland. If you would like me to forward
that let me know! Have fun........

Dear Ann
Give me visit if you are passing Westport. It's a coastal town in Mayo -
most Americans go to Kerry.
The rest is difficult for me say, as this is a small place and I could
get lynched if I spoke my mind - and fair enough my list would just include
the cronies .
Your companion has a point there are a lot of craft shops 110% mark up on
the wholesale price and best avoided . These shops sell all the same stock
but if you are passing the actual pottery that supply the pots to these
shops they are worth a visit.
The small studios that do not sell to the shops are well worth a visit.
More to the mark- I expect you companion may have witness the meeting of
two or more potters. A few hours of technical talk and you may end up
traveling alone.
