Castle Arch Pottery
Created by Castle Arch Pottery, based at Castle Yard, Kilkenny Town. If you are ever in the area drop by and see Ray in his studio. A native of Cork, Ray Power set up Castle Arch Pottery in the Autumn of 1993. Located in Kilkenny’s famous Castle Yard under the gaze of Kilkenny Castle. Ray takes his inspiration from Celtic patterns to make bold honest pieces, which stand out and enhance formal and decorative settings.
Each piece is made in small production batches on the potter’s wheel. This allows for great attention be paid to decorative details. Such as handles, sprigs and to the fluent slip-trailed decoration with embossed surfaces. The penultimate stage sees each piece bisque fired to 1000cc. Then the final stage of glazing and firing again to 1200cc. This guarantees the pottery will be both microwave and dishwasher safe. This traditional approach is typical of Irish country potteries. Ensures that Castle Arch Pottery maintains its unique character. The glazes used are both luscious and eye catching. They have been carefully developed over the years.
Handmade by Castle Arch Pottery, County Kilkenny.
