Stephen Pearce Pottery

Stephen Pearce Pottery Review

One of Ireland's best-known ceramic artists, Stephen Pearce runs Stephen Pearce Pottery, established by his parents. The original pottery, where two styles of earthenware pottery are thrown traditionally by hand, is currently in receivership, and seeking new investors. Meanwhile, he has opened a massive gallery and showroom (with scrumptious home baking in the café) in the center of the village, which will continue to sell, whatever happens to the pottery. About a dozen artists have studios in the basement, where their work is also for sale. They include a stone sculptor from Zimbabwe, an Israeli jeweler, a botanical artist, a patchwork maker, and several up-and-coming Irish artists. A tour of the pottery can be booked in advance.
