Patricia Howard Pottery

Browse a selection of handmade pottery. From decorative pieces to practical tableware beautifully crafted by Patricia in her studio. Pieces can be shipped within Ireland. Custom pieces made to order.

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.
