Irish Art and Craft: Hand-Painted Creations from the Heart of Cork
Charlie Mahon: Discover Authentic Art and Craft in Clay, Colour, and Story
At the heart of every piece by Charlie Mahon is a story—real or imagined—told through vibrant glazes, playful forms, and a deep love for clay. Charlie doesn’t just make ceramics; he brings them to life, using the surface of a mug, platter, or sculpture as his canvas. His bold, hand-painted work is instantly recognizable for its personality, humour, and character.
From richly glazed ceramic sculptures to functional pottery, Charlie's art and craft are a testament to his unconventional take on life: joyful, honest, and a little bit mischievous. Whether it's a playful sheep, a heartfelt Grá Heart, or a wild mackerel, his art and craft always leave a lasting impression that is designed to spark joy in your home.
