Sarah McKenna believes in creating reminders that anchor positive feelings every day through her work and designs.

From inspiring quotes to sentimental lyrics, her ceramics are adorned with messages that tug at the heartstrings and evoke smiles. She impresses patterns and text into clay, forming a unique combination that conveys sentiments without uttering a word. Each piece links memories and sentiment to modern, functional forms, transforming everyday objects into cherished gifts and future heirlooms.

Sarah has made Irish pottery and homewares in her workshop in Bridge Street Studios, in Dundalk, Co Louth, for over two decades. Her pieces are designed to withstand the test of time, ensuring they become cherished by future generations with minimal environmental impact. A true small-batch potter: each piece of she makes starts from a bag of wet clay in her workshop and is made by Sarah's hands.
