Paint your own piece inspired by Arklow Pottery with ceramicist Caroline Bergin, then relax over afternoon tea while it's glazed.

For over 60 years, Arklow Pottery's plates and teapots sat on kitchen tables all over Ireland. Join us for an afternoon celebrating that heritage, right here in Arklow.

Gorey ceramicist Caroline Bergin will lead a relaxed, hands-on workshop in The Pottery restaurant at Arklow Bay Hotel, where you'll paint your own ceramic piece inspired by the patterns of Arklow Pottery. No experience needed. You'll hear a little of the story behind the pottery too.

Afterwards, settle in for afternoon tea in the lobby while Caroline glazes your piece, then take it home with you.
