¡LAST TAPAS EVENING OF 2011! Featuring a new ‘rustic’ style… Friday 16th Dec
This Friday evening (16th December, 5.30-9pm) will be our last Tapas evening of 2011. We will be serving a new rustic style – just as delicious as before but even larger portion sizes to suit Christmas appetites! Bring your friends along, tell your family – this will be a great warm up for the festivities to come with an amazing selection of tasty bites and wine.
Bottle of red for €12 bottle/€2 glass, or bring your own if you like. Thank you to everyone who has made it to any of our Tapas evenings this year – they have been great fun and we hope you have enjoyed them.

Free Shipping on internet orders to Ireland & the UK

Our online store seems to be really taking off now and we are really grateful to all of you out there who have taken the leap of faith and ordered pieces on the website.
We are delighted to be offering free shipping on all online orders to Ireland and the UK – with no minimum purchase – until December 21st. We announced this in our latest newsletter a week or so ago and the response has been tremendous. (You can sign up to receive the newsletter by email on the homepage of our website.)
We work very hard all year round to ensure that our customers get the best deals possible on shipping rates (and are expecting to have news for friends abroad early in the New Year to make our ranges even more accessible) but we see this as a little thank you from all of us at the Pottery for your continuing support!

Talking to my arm…
I was in the shower this morning and I found myself talking to my arm. For the last 6 months I have had a frozen right arm which has been quite painful and impossible to use for making pottery. Slowly, with continual exercise it is getting better. This morning in the shower I noticed that it was even better so I said “Thank you dear arm for being more use to me today” and I felt a deep sense of appreciation.
Then I thought of the integrated processes that our bodies are and I realised that my arm is not separate from my body but one and the same thing, even though the pain appears in a particular place.
Then I thought that I am part of the universe… and the game goes on and on.
I find gratitude to be a very powerful mantra.
