About Us
	Ballyelland Pottery is inspired by Natures ability to create beauty in ordinary everyday things.
	Mairead completed The Crafts Council of Ireland Pottery Course in 1993. She developed her experience in both Ireland and U.K. before starting Ballyelland Pottery in Cambridge in 1997. She then returned to Ireland in 1999 to set up her studio in a 200 year Old Mill in Castlebridge near Wexford Town.
	Her work is strongly influenced by the environment and the history of her local surroundings, from shimmering coastlines to rocky castles. She draws inspiration from the surrounding shores and the early visitors who left their mark on the landscape.

	She believes strongly in the element of design and in the ethos of making everything by hand from start to finish, thus ensuring a truly organic production process.

	Her vibrant colours and glazes have been researched and developed over many years to create shades and hues that reflect nature and naturally draw the eye.

	Each piece is fired to the stoneware temperature of 1260°C which makes each piece safe and durable for both the oven and dishwater.
