Well hello there!

I’m Órla.

My sidekick Louis and I run a little pottery studio in Churchtown, Dublin.

A black bowl with a white swirling pattern, containing a vine of cherry tomatoes, placed on a white surface.
A woman with glasses and a blue sweater holding a light-colored curly-haired dog inside a workshop surrounded by shelves with various tools and supplies.

Louis’ job includes things like security (particularly against any foxes/cats that try to break in and commit terrible crimes), stick-eating, birdwatching, and snoozing. My job covers pretty much everything else; from designing to making and decorating, marketing, selling, and whatever else is required. I do basically nothing when compared with Louis’ heavy workload.

I make all sorts of functional tableware, alongside an ever-growing range of vases, jars, jugs, and pots. I also use a range of ‘wild’ clays (hand-dug by me and Lou) from around Ireland in my work.

A forest scene with tall, closely spaced trees on either side, forming a natural path or corridor.
A rectangular clay brick with a white, worn impression of a cat on its surface, placed against a plain white background.
