Eibhlín Dunne

Oakhouse Ceramics is the work of Eibhlín Dunne, created in her studio beside the Bé Binn oak in Mountshannon, the largest recorded oak tree in Ireland, on the shores of Lough Derg in East Clare. Eibhlín creates wheel thrown and hand-built pieces, with glazes and colours that reflect the palette outside her door, the trees, the wildlife and the changing colours of the lake itself.

Eibhlín graduated with a degree in Ceramic Design from Limerick School of Art and Design in 2005. Following her studies, she travelled extensively before embarking on a career in primary school teaching. In recent years, she has returned to her passion for ceramics, developing a body of work inspired by local wildlife and the natural world around her.

Her practice is strongly influenced by her love of birds, a recurring theme throughout her work. Eibhlín works extensively with raku firing and continues to explore alternative firing techniques, embracing the unpredictable and organic qualities they bring to her ceramics. Alongside her studio practice, she is a tutor with the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, where she works closely with local community groups, sharing her skills and enthusiasm for ceramics with others.
