Craft inspired by nature…

Aisling started to explore the many possibilities of the pottery wheel having taken part in an inspiring pottery class in her native town of Kilkenny under the instruction of potter Aisling McElwain. Since then, it has become her passion. She has been fortunate to have had the advice and mentorship of many craftspeople in her locality, Kilkenny being a vibrant hub for the arts.

Aisling has a fascination with the natural world which expresses itself in particular in her blue and white range, a selection of pieces which focus on Irish plant and animal life.

She enjoys the juxtaposition of texture that glazed and unglazed surfaces offer together as seen in the blue and black range, a collection of pieces decorated with black clay slip and blue glaze.

Aisling wishes for her pieces to be enjoyed as one off creations to be used in everyday life.
