My mom and I had a fantastic time during the one day introduction to pottery course at the Kinsale Pottery and Arts Centre in May 2012. Adrian, the tutor was full of knowledge, very informative and in my opinion extremely patient with what I can only assume must be repetitive questions for him, overall a great tutor. I would definitely... More

we had a wonderful day which was fun and informative and we came away with some nice (in our eyes anyway) pieces that we will proudly display at home. Well worth a visit

I've just completed a weekend introduction to mosaic course in Kinsale Pottery and it was wonderful. It was a great way to unwind while creating and learning a new skill. Our tutor Julie was just lovely, and very talented. From start to finish, it was really relaxing and calm. Thanks lots.

I had an absolutely brilliant day at Kinsale Pottery and arts centre. I have completed some pottery classes before in a different location but Adrian definitely knew his stuff! We were shown around the workshop before we got started on our pieces and Adrian explained a little about firing techniques and how glaze colours where made. At the beginning of... More

I visited Kinsale Ceramics for a one day taster course in pottery with my teenage daughter & what a lovely time we had. Aidrian gave us a very genuine warm welcome and we were with a group of about 6 other novices. The studio is a lovely sunny space set in a really beautiful country location just outside Kinsale town.... More

Really enjoyed the day. Got to try different techniques including making a bowl on the pottery wheel, some sculpture and a wall plaque. I hadn't tried it before and it was great to give it a go. I would definitely recommend it.
