Time to get creative at Clay Rooms Kilkenny

Clay Rooms Kilkenny, a new ceramics studio in the centre of the city, strives to explore the endless possibilities of clay in a fun and friendly environment.
Established by Liselott Olofsson, Niamh Synnott and Aisling McElwain, Clay Rooms Kilkenny opened its doors on January 8 this year. The studio consists of multiple large, spacious rooms with top of the range ceramic equipment. They endeavour to create a community of makers from curious beginners to trained practitioners by offering a range of courses to suit all levels.
At Clay Rooms Kilkenny they want to share their passion by introducing people to throwing and handbuilding with lots of hands-on practical experiences. Course participants will also develop other skills such as decorating and glazing their own work.
With over 40 years ceramics experience between them, the tutors offer expert technical support in teaching and learning. The courses on offer on the potters wheel include six weekday and evening classes, three- hour taster classes and two day weekend courses, among others. Also on offer are a large variety of handbuilding courses ranging from planters to teapots. Handbuilding is a slower and more meditative process using hands, fingers and simple tools to make pinch, coil and slab-built forms.
