Sarah McKenna Ceramics


Sarah McKenna created Sarah McKenna Ceramics and has been creating unique handmade Irish pottery for over 20 years in Bridge Street Studios in Dundalk, Co. Louth.  Sarah studied Ceramics at Duncan of Jordonstone College of ALeading Lights Web 340_Louth Sarah.jpgrt & Design, the University of Dundee, Scotland where I gained a Bachelor of Ceramic Design.

Her work uses layers of messaging, created using patterns, bright colours and text which subtly say little things people want to tell each other without having to say them out loud. Often using inspiring quotes, poetry and sentimental lyrics, her individual pieces convey feelings of joy once known and happy memories.

Sarah has been creating and developing her pottery and homeware since 1999. By 2003, she was attending trade shows and selling to shops throughout Ireland and overseas. In 2013 she set up an e-commerce website which opened up overseas markets to her. 

Her work is stocked in gift shops throughout Ireland and in select gift stores in Europe and North America. She has been commissioned to make bespoke pieces for high profile events and clients including President Michael D Higgins and Leo Varadkar
