Description
Kinsale Pottery and Arts Centre Kinsale Pottery and Arts Centre provides arts and crafts courses for adults and children, specialising in pottery, art, glass fusing, jewellery-making, millinery and mosaic-making. We run weekly morning classes, weekend breaks, summer schools and tailor-made workshops for corporate groups and private parties.
We can accommodate up to 20 people in one class and up to 50 in a group, or as few as two or three at a time. All our 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.
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

Teacher for adult and teen pottery classes wanted. We had a good response to the children's teacher ad, and several good candidates. We really need another teacher who can handle adult groups in the pottery. This includes teaching throwing, and I am ready to train the right person if you have some experience of pottery and of teaching. You should be local, have your own transport, and be fairly available over the summer and some weekends. PM me for a copy of the job description or email me your CV. Please also share this to your contacts.
