Sarah McKenna impressed bud vase inscribed with 'a rose by any other name'

The vases, which are textured with wallpaper patterns are formed from flat pieces of clay which are wrapped and overlapped to form simple pieces with function and beauty. The designs are contemporary and the nostalgic quality of the wallpapers nod to traditional textiles.

Dimensions: 6 × 7 × 14 cm

About Sarah McKenna

Sarah McKenna has been developing her unique handmade Irish pottery at Bridge Street Studios since 1999. Before returning to Dundalk she studied Ceramics at Duncan of Jordonstone College of Art & Design, the University of Dundee, Scotland where she gained a Bachelor of Ceramic Design.

Sarah’s work has always been engaged in the process and the early studio work was concerned with smoke firing and raku firing sculptural vessel forms.

In 2006 Sarah started producing a range of quirky customisable ceramics giftware which is the beginning of what you can purchase today.
