Talamh is Irish for “Land” (pronounced Tol ov)

I live in a remote corner of the South West coast of Ireland, the last village before the Cork and Kerry boarder called Ardgroom. I have lived here now for over 4 years and I proudly call it home. Over those years my way of life has changed, I have changed and so has my work. This new series called Talamh (Land) reflects the surroundings that changed me.

Each piece is hand-built and due to the technique ….completely unique. The rim is finished with a dark glaze that mixes with the deep turquoise interior. The textured exterior is aged and finished with a copper oxide and underglaze wash, a nod to the long closed Allihies copper mines on the tip of Beara Peninsula 1812 - 1884.
