Limerick Ceramic Artists

Hi everyone 🤗, our Limerick Ceramic Artists will be continuing our 15 Year celebrations with a pop up Exhibition at this year's Clare Potters Market 🥳, which is hosted always at Ballymorris Pottery by Jean Ryan Ceramics and Hannah Arnup, two of our very own members 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Dates for this year's Market are 13th and 14th of June, from 11am -5pm both days. This year the Market is GENEROUSLY sponsored by Design & Crafts Council Ireland and their wonderful campaign 🤗
Go on and head over to the Clare Potters Market pages on Facebook and Instagram and give a follow so you don't miss out on which potters will be joining in over the weekend with us, and also not to miss out on any other info, like the giveaway prize 🤩.
So mark the diaries, spread the word and bring a few friends along, it's going to be a brilliant weekend 🥰.

Morning everyone, today is the last day that you catch our Limerick Ceramic Artists Exhibition Shaping Time 2 in Draíocht Art Gallery Adare. Here is the last ceramic artist, who has also had work in our Shaping Time exhibition in Limerick School of Art & Design TUS which ran from March - April this year and currently in the Exhibition Shaping Time 2.

Jean Ryan Ceramics

Jean did a 3 year foundation course in arts and crafts in North Strand Dublin. She concentrated in ceramics for the 3rd year and worked with Suzanne May Pottery in The Tower in Dublin. She works at Ballymorris Pottery for the last 23 years and has studio space there also. Constantly experimenting and exploring with clay and colour, she loves inviting nature into her work and everything whimsical to create her pieces.

One of the final ceramic artists who has taken part in both our exhibitions, Shaping Time in Limerick School of Art & Design TUS and Shaping Time 2 in Draíocht Art Gallery Adare, which is open until tomorrow 28th of May.

Siobhan O'Malley

Currently Siobhan works from her studio at Mulcair Drive, Annacotty, Co. Limerick. She has considerable experience in her field working since the 80's and returning to college where she obtained an MA research degree. Siobhan is a member of Limerick Ceramic Artists, Ceramics Ireland and Assoc. of Artists Ireland. She continues to work, exhibiting regularly with Limerick Ceramic Artists

We are nearly coming to the last day of our exhibition Shaping Time 2 in Draíocht Art Gallery Adare , and today we have another long standing member of our Limerick Ceramic Artists group.

Ann Mcbride

Ann is a Clare based artist and award winning ceramic designer. She creates unique ceramic forms and wall installations. Her art has a joyful aesthetic creating fun and movement on the static ceramic form. She has exhibited at national and international level and her work is in public and private collections.

Please welcome another one of our long standing members of our Limerick Ceramic Artists 🤗, who has been part of both of exhibitions this year so far.

Ciara Nash

In 2011 she completed an Honours Degree in Ceramic Design in Limerick School of Art and Design. It is very much process based, an element which I enjoy immensely. The clays I use are stoneware and porcelain which are finished using high fired glazes in an electric kiln. While I love making functional ware, modern concepts of form and design are major considerations throughout my work and lately I have begun handbuilding in porcelain which has given me a new form of expression.

You can still see Ciaras work in our present exhibition Shaping Time 2 at Draíocht Art Gallery Adare

We have a few more Ceramic Artists to introduce you to who have been helping us celebrate 15 years of Exhibitions with our 15 Artists from our Limerick Ceramic Artists group 🤗.

Noreen Ramsay

Noreen is an Irish visual artist who graduated from Limerick School of Art and Design in 2001. She works from her studio in Co. Clare.She works with porcelain,
the work is intimate and quiet. It is designed to encourage people to pause and connect.

In an increasingly demanding and frenetic world, Noreen’s subtle, serene work offers a focus for quiet contemplation.
Her latest work depicts a trip to Australia she had taken recently.
Noreen also has had work in both our exhibitions this far this year, Shaping Time which was in Limerick School of Art & Design TUS , and our current exhibition, Shaping Time 2 which is in Draíocht Art Gallery Adare until this Thurs 28th of May🤗
