Just completed the six-week Continuing Skills Development Course with Patricia and had an incredible time learning how to use the wheel. We also made our own Japanese inspired tea set and tried out the Raku firing technique, which included creating the glazes for our finished pieces. I love the experience of working in clay and getting to work with other  creatives. The Raku firing was exciting as the outcome was unpredictable. I didn’t know what to expect, but I am extremely happy with all of my finished pieces. Having been to many of the other courses Patricia provides, it was a lovely opportunity to continue developing my knowledge and pottery skills. I would highly recommend this course to those who have an interest in gaining more skills in their pottery practice and I hope to come back for more in the future.’ – Lee

About Patricia

Patricia is an accomplished and experienced potter, working at her craft for over 40 years, who designs and makes a range of sponge printed tableware, hand rolled floor and wall tiles, and patio planters at her studio in South Wexford. She is a founder member of The Wexford Craft Trails and a registered member of The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland. 

Essentially, pottery is a domestic craft, and Patricia’s love of cooking with the produce from her garden inspires her constant search for form and decoration to complement the table and enhance the food’s presentation.

Living close to the sea, its movement and textures are a seedbed for her imagination, inspiring the colours and motifs of her hand thrown pottery with its smooth perfect finish. Made for durability, these pots give quiet pleasure in their use.
