My studio

Based in beautiful Kilkenny City, my studio is conveniently located in my back garden which is a short 10 minutes walk from Parliament Street. The studio has 4 teaching wheels and one extra wheel for demonstrations, so everyone will have access to a wheel throughout the course.

I will provide tools, a good quality clay and aprons. Wear something that enables you to sit around the pottery wheel comfortably and roll your sleeves up to your elbows. A layer that keeps your body warm and arms free is good to have this time of year. Please tie long hair back.

The Small print

Due to the small class size (4) the class may not go ahead if there are not enough participants.

No refunds can be given if you cancel with less than 7 days notice. Up to 10 days before, you can transfer your space to someone else, if you wish or contact me as I may have a waiting list

If I need to cancel a class, due to not having enough participants, I will let you know as soon as possible. If I am unable to attend l a class due to illness or other emergency, I will notify you as soon as possible and/or try my best to find a replacement teacher.

The course price does not include postage of the ceramics after the glaze firing. Postage usually costs no more than €13.

Student Reviews

“Having started pottery classes with Aisling in 2022, she has given me a lifelong love of the craft. She is a supportive, patient teacher who shares her wealth of knowledge and skill in a calm, friendly way making for relaxing and fun classes that help the student to progress and to really enjoy the process.”
**- Aisling S.**

“I have had the privilege of going to Aisling for pottery lesson for 3 years, she is an outstanding and inspiring teacher, bringing patience and humour into every lesson. She has encouraged me to explore new techniques and be brave and ambitious with my projects. I am continually amazed at what comes out of the kiln with her support and guidance.”

She has created a warm, supportive space to learn, encouraging experimentation and growth while giving individual attention. Her teaching gave me the confidence to pursue a qualification in fine art, which I’m now thoroughly enjoying.”
**- Yvonne K.**

“Aisling is a wonderful pottery teacher, sharing her knowledge generously with really clear explanations and demonstrations. She always encourages us to push ourselves to learn new techniques, providing support and encouragement while knowing when to step back and let students experiment, try, and learn for ourselves. She fosters a wonderful learning environment in her pottery studio, where we were all able to focus on our own specific projects and paths if we chose, and be inspired by each other under Aisling’s guidance. I started in Aisling’s classes in 2024 on a recommendation from a friend, and have since gone on to recommend her myself to anyone who will listen (and is able to snag a place!)”
