Our
collection of functional pottery combines quality in craftsmanship with
inspirational and modern designs. After working and apprenticing in
potteries around Ireland, Helen Ennis took over the running of
Dunbeacon Pottery in the year 2000.  Helen’s vision is to
bring well designed, affordable, functional ceramic tableware to a
wider audience. Every single piece of Dunbeacon Pottery is handmade and
finished to the highest standard. Drawing on inspiration from the surrounding landscape Helen creates pieces that perfectly capture the essence of Ireland’s southwest coastal region. The Ocean Collection evolved from her connection with the ever-changing energy of the Atlantic Ocean. Discovering traces of ancient Irish woodlands in the immediate area inspired the Woodland Collection. Helen’s pottery is styled and decorated by hand with a range of natural forms and glazes. “In my work I strive to make pieces that will be reached for and enjoyed every day for many many years” Dunbeacon’s Collections have evolved from simple natural shapes to a comprehensive array of shapes and patterns that fit into every home, offering a wide range of bowls,  vases, jugs, mugs, butter dishes and many other unique
gift items. The tabletop pottery is both practical, beautiful
and
dishwasher safe. Each piece is made by Helen with pride and
care.
The
striking Water’s Edge is a new addition to the Dunbeacon
Pottery collection. Located in West Cork, 3 miles from the village of Durrus in the direction of Goleen we welcome visitors to come and browse the showroom and watch the making process. A visit to Europe’s most south-western pottery is a must when touring West Cork! Stockists in County Cork: Adrigole Arts, Beara / Ballymaoloe Shop, Shanagarry / Perryville House, Kinsale |
