An old mill on the riverbank is home to one of Ireland’s best-loved craft workshops, Nicholas Mosse Pottery.
Explore its history, watch the ceramics being formed and decorated, and browse through the extensive Irish Country Shop filled with all sorts of necessary items and gifts for country lovers!
Going strong after 50 years, Nick and his team of local craftspeople use an old Irish technique called ‘Spongeware’ to create their charming range of pottery.
The pottery is also famous for its use of ecologically friendly processes, from hydroelectricity to recycling and upcycling every bit of material. The Riverside Café with its additional outdoor seating lets visitors enjoy the beautiful views.
