After a three hour session at kinsale Pottery and arts centre, I (an artistic neanderthal) produced 1. a clay plaque for my grandsons bedroom door 2. a quirky soup bowl or perhaps it will be a large cappucino vessel, failing that, wine will be supped from it's bowels (when all the wine glasses are in the dishwasher of course) 3....

Really enjoyed the day. Got to try different techniques including making a bowl on the pottery wheel, some sculpture and a wall plaque. I hadn't tried it before and it was great to give it a go. I would definitely recommend it. More

My husband and I attended a beginners lesson in pottery at the Kinsale Pottery in December 2011. The teacher (Adrian Wistreich) was fantastic.

We were given the opportunity to make... More

I didn't know quite what to expect as I had very limited experience with clay and... More

Hi Adrian, Just a quick note of sincere acknowledgement - to say how much I savoured, and gained from, the one-day pottery course. The experience was not only educational in a crafts and artistic sense, but was most therapeutic to boot. You are a very competent facilitator. I am hoping to perhaps do a couple of drop in half day... More

We did a one day intro to pottery workshop and I would highly recommend it. You get to create 3 pieces, and despite not having done anything creative in 20 yrs you get into the swing of it. Also you get an hour and a half for lunch, which means you can pop down town to Kinsale for a leisurely... More

I just started with the pottery classes - its just what I needed -- very therapeutic. More
