Situated in a renovated gate-lodge in the heart of the beautiful Glen of Aherlow, in County Tipperary, Mandy Parslow Studio Potter specialises in wheel-thrown and altered wood-fired salt-glazed stoneware. She blends both the functional and the abstract in her range of award winning hand-blown studio pottery and visitors can visit her studio and watch her work surrounded by her finished ware in the showroom.
Her inspiration comes from a multitude of sources, the area she lives in, its mountains and the ever varying colours on them as the light shifts. From found objects such as stones, bones and shells and from the making process itself, the tactile nature of clay and time spent experimenting with form and surface.
