Welcome to Rosie's Pottery and crafts
Rosie's Pottery and Crafts is an artisan ceramics and gift shop situated along the Wild Atlantic Way in the heart of Easkey, Co. Sligo. Owned by renowned designer Rosemary Mc Gowan, each piece is hand-crafted and fired on-site in her working studio that she shares with her beloved dog Leo.
Rosies pottery is durable, functional and designed for everyday use, however it is her distinctive hand-painting and flower stem-printing techniques that give her work its delicate look and feel.

About Rosie
"I always had a fascination with clay. I would gather it up and make mud pots with my mother at the kitchen table"
Rosies fascination with clay hasn’t wavered since her childhood days, playing around in the mud. She learned her craft at Quay Stone Pottery in Ballina and then went onto to study Ceramics and Pottery in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny. After working with Michael Kennedy Pottery and Breeogue Pottery in Sligo, Rosie set up her own studio in Easkey.
It is the raw and wild landscape that is so unique to Sligo that inspires Rosies design process. You can see the natural textures of local stone and flora speak through her work.
We supported Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) with their nationwide ‘Made Local’, you can own it’ summer 2020 campaign to encourage shoppers in Ireland to buy Irish design and craft instore or online.
