Kinsale Pottery and Arts School

Kinsale Pottery and Art School provides arts and crafts courses for adults and children, specialising in pottery, art, drawing and painting, glass fusing and stained glass, bronze casting, silk painting and mosaic-making. For aspiring holiday-makers seeking an inspiration in Ireland, the Kinsale Pottery and Art School offer a range of courses designed to inspire the artist within, including weekend breaks, summer schools and tailor-made workshops for groups.

All of the Kinsale Pottery and Art Schools courses suit beginners, enthusiasts and professionals, using a wide range of facilities and techniques. The pottery includes electric and raku kilns, stoneware and earthenware clays, and we teach throwing, hand-building and all varieties of glazing. Classes can accommodate up to 20 people in one class and up to 40 in a group, or as few as two or three at a time.

After more than 20 years of corporate life in London, Ceramic Artist Adrian Wistreich left the rat-race to pursue his ambition of becoming an artist and teacher, moving to Kinsale with his family to set-up the Kinsale Pottery and Art School. He personally teaches many of the courses, as well as drawing upon a stable of several talented local artists.
