June has been a busy month for me. Limerick Ceramic Artists took part in two small exhibitions at the Absolute Hotel in Limerick and at the Clare Potter’s Market in Ballymorris.

I have been a member of Limerick Ceramic Artists since it began in 2010. What started out as a support network for ceramic artists, many of them graduates from Limerick School of Art and Design, developed into a group showcasing a wide variety of ceramics in an annual group exhibition.  We have exhibited in many venues in Limerick from the Hunt Museum to King John’s Castle. We have taken part in Culture night, joined in the Pig Town festival and had a special exhibition for the gathering of the O Malley clan.

We have had to be adaptable as there has been no dedicated visual arts space suitable for exhibiting ceramics in Limerick.  We have seen venues come and go.  We are grateful to the Limerick Arts Office, the Belltable and the Hunt Museum for their support over many years.

Next year we will be celebrating 15 years since our first exhibition which took place in the Hunt Museum!
