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.

This piece is hand-built using pinch and coil techniques and due to these techniques and the surface texture ….completely unique. This vessel is decorative only but is glazed internally. The textured exterior is treated with a copper oxide and underglaze wash, a nod to the long closed Allihies copper mines on the tip of Beara Peninsula 1812 - 1884.

Note: Not food safe, decorative only.
