Testimonials

“The ceramics workshop was a wonderfully enjoyable, creative experience, with Sara guiding us through the whole process in an easy, clear manner. Sara also served the group scones in the morning & a delicious lunch which added to the friendly, sociable atmosphere. It was thrilling to see the end result of our work in the beautiful pieces that everyone had made. A wonderful day of creativity that comes highly recommended”
Helen, Education Mentor


“​I took part in the ceramic workshops at Sara's as part of Cork Craft Month in August 2018. It was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly - a real feel-good experience. Sara was very helpful and encouraging and shared her expertise and experience willingly. I would definitely recommend the workshops, and Sara was a brilliant tutor and facilitator.”
Mary, School Principal


“I attended one of Sara's 3-day courses, and it was a fantastic experience! The sessions were relaxed in such a pleasant atmosphere. Sara guided and advised us, encouraging full freedom of expression so that we could be truly proud of the accomplished work produced by our novice hands. And the home-cooked lunches were a sumptuous feast!”
Patricia (course participant)

“Sara’s ceramic workshops are a delightful way to spend a few days learning how to work with clay, and the food she serves is the cherry on the cake!  Sara is very laid back, giving advice when needed and stepping back when you find your creative plan.  She starts the workshop with coffee and delicious cake, a little talk on how to work with clay, explaining about textures and colours and then helps with any ideas you have in mind to get you started.  There are pottery samples, books and lots of tools to help you create your own piece. Lunch is a delicious three courses in her warm, homely kitchen and then perhaps a walk up the fields to see spectacular coastline views. Then the afternoon flies by in a hushed silence of creativity. I have enjoyed a number of workshops with Sara and always look forward to them.”
Mary, chef from Cork

“I was on the Potters Council tour last June. I have fond memories of your studio and your beautiful acreage along the coast. I wanted you to know that you have helped me expand on some techniques that I have been using for years. Making these waterscapes has brought my work to another dimension. This ex-student from BC, Canada, was totally inspired!”
Sue (potter)

“Out of all the Summer camps I’ve done, yours was the best.”
Shane, aged 11

“We recently attended a two-day workshop with Sara. It was a fabulous experience. Sara was an exceptional teacher. She was very patient and encouraging. On the first day, we created many different pieces in clay using different techniques, and on the second day, Sara showed us how to glaze them with a massive selection of coloured glazes and glass. We returned a few weeks later to collect our masterpieces. We were totally delighted and very proud of our creations. We would highly recommend the workshop with Sara.  It was very relaxing, and we came away with gorgeous works of art. Sara and Gidi provided us with beautiful lunches on both days. Thank you.”
Claire and Mags

Sara provides a unique opportunity to explore the world of clay within the serene ambience of her studio, nestled at the end of a tranquil tree-lined laneway, instantly evoking a sense of escape from the everyday hustle.

Courses typically span two days and are kept intimate with 4 to 5 participants. Starting at 10:30 am and concluding around 4 pm, beginners will delve into foundational techniques, crafting their pieces during the initial session. If you're more experienced, Sara will assist you in bringing your creative concepts to life.

Afterwards, your creations will be dried and fired in the following week, setting the stage for the glazing phase during the subsequent one-day session. Once glaze firing is complete, your pieces will be ready for collection a few days later. Should you desire, Sara can arrange for mounting, framing, or delivery at an additional cost.

Priced at €130 per day, the package includes all materials, a delightful morning coffee, a sumptuous home-cooked lunch, and afternoon tea. Taking a short leisurely stroll uphill post-lunch is recommended – a chance to absorb the fresh air while basking in the breathtaking coastal panoramas from the adjacent cliffs.

If you opt out of the glazing workshop, rest assured Sara can handle the glazing for you. Any glazing, framing, or delivery needs will incur extra charges. For smaller groups, customised workshops can be arranged to suit your preferences and schedules. For those looking to extend their experience, comfortable accommodations are available nearby, allowing you to unwind before or after the workshop.
