Kinsale Pottery and Arts

Situated near the beautiful harbour in Kinsale town, the school has become the largest and most established centre of its kind in Ireland.

We run weekly morning and evening classes, weekend breaks, summer schools and tailor-made workshops for corporate groups and private parties. We can accommodate up to 30 people in one class and up to 50 in a group, or as few as two or three at a time. Our specialities include pottery, glass fusing, casting and stained glass, jewellery-making, and mosaic-making. We stock a wide selection of clays and glazes, our pottery courses cover the full range of ceramics and sculpting techniques.

Kinsale Pottery is situated just 20 minutes from Cork Airport, close to the centre of the beautiful historic harbour of Kinsale, famed for its restaurants and shops. The pottery is in the converted stables of the home farm for Ballinacurra House, and the gallery is in the eaves of its coach house, which dates back to 1795.

Kinsale is internationally renowned for its cuisine, its cosmopolitan style and the beauty of its harbour. There are many excellent pubs and restaurants in the town, as well as a wide range of art and craft shops. There is simply no better place to learn a craft, practice art, or just take a relaxing break.

We run weekly morning and evening classes, one-day taster courses, weekend breaks, summer schools and tailor-made workshops for corporate groups and private parties.

Classes are held in Kinsale Pottery & Art School, Ballinacurra, Kinsale, Co Cork.
