Colm De Ris Pottery
Colm De Ris is one of Ireland's premiere Celtic potters. He was born in Dublin in 1969, and began to study with leading Irish-based potters in 1993. In 1996, Colm launched his own pottery when he acquired a unit at the Liffey Trust Centre in Dublin. Here, with his staff of eight young enthusiastic potters, he creates and designs an entire range of stoneware pottery, including bowls and vases of various sizes to satisfy both corporate needs and the Irish retail market. He also specializes in one-off design pieces, full dinner services and a unique range of teapots and jugs. His pots, which are all hand thrown, hand built and hand made, come in strong colors, deep reds and rich blues with sweeping shades creating a modern Celtic feel. The high gloss finish is achieved by firing his work in a gas fired kiln to porcelain temperatures, which not only adds to the aesthetic beauty of his work, but also makes it suitable for use in ovens, microwaves and dishwashers. Colm's designs are sold internationally throughout the EU and the USA. His work is also used by government departments and major companies as gifts for visiting dignitaries and clients representing top class Irish craftsmanship and design.
