Castle Arch Pottery

Castle Arch Pottery is a ceramics workshop and shop at Gardens, County Kilkenny, in a county long associated with Irish craft and design. Pottery here is made on site, so visitors can see something of how each piece is thrown, glazed and fired before browsing the finished work.

Expect tableware, kitchen pieces and decorative ceramics suited to everyday use, with staff usually happy to explain the making process. It suits anyone gathering handmade souvenirs or gifts while touring the Kilkenny craft trail, and it sits easily alongside the county’s other studios and workshops.
