Ceramic Process
Each product is designed by Ella, she makes first
drawing and makes a prototype, than Lukasz look
after details and makes a mold, which allows us
to make larger quantities and feels market needs.
We are using slip casting technique for our wall
decorations and brooches to ensure consistency of
each batch. Using highest quality fine clay for
luxury touch. Liquid clay stays in the mold for
number of hours before we are able to work on
cosmetic details. We allow each batch to dry for
a week before we can fire them under 1000 Degrees
Celsius. After first firing we can sand down each
piece to ensure there is no sharp edges than we
can apply glaze and glass, once this is done
products go back to the kiln for final firing at
1260 degrees Celsius.

Ceramic Workshops/Classes
Lets make some ceramics together. We are happy to
share our passion with you. Clay is a amazing
material to work with, can be very therapeutic
and relaxing. We have 10 years experience with
running classes and workshops for different size
groups. Lukas is qualified teacher and we both
have garda clearance certificate allowing us to
work with children. From small hen party, family
gathering experience to large kids summer camps,
schools classes, co-workers, reunions groups. We
run ceramic workshops for Acquired Brain Injury
Ireland and Western Care for last 6 years. We can
drive to any place around Connaught and
facilitate workshops. Bringing all necessary
tools and equipment for every participant. We
provide firing and glazing service at our own
premises afterwards and arrange collecting fired
pieces 2-3 weeks after date of the workshops.

Lockdown Vases
The Lockdown Vases are a large art project I
created to deal with the overwhelm of the Corona
pandemic and the lockdown in Ireland. For 100
consecutive days, I fashioned a vase a day, using
different techniques, experimenting with various
clays and colours, and exploring new shapes and
designs. Some of the vases reflect experiences
Ive had during that time, others mirror news
items broadcast throughout the pandemic. As a
collection, the Lockdown Vases represent my
three-dimensional pandemic journal each vase is
date-stamped with its day of creation, starting
with the first vase on the 26th March 2020, and
finishing with the last one on the 3rd July.
