Charlie Mahon – Where Art Meets Clay, Colour, and Storytelling
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, teapot, urn, or wall piece as his canvas. His handmade Irish pottery is bursting with personality, humour, and character.
From richly glazed ceramic sculptures to oil paintings and colourful functional pottery, Charlie’s work is instantly recognisable for its bold colours, quirky charm, and narrative style. Every piece invites you to look a little closer… because there’s always more than one story to discover.
Charlie’s unconventional take on life is reflected in his work—joyful, honest, and a little bit mischievous. Whether it's a playful sheep, a heartfelt heart, or a wild mackerel, his art always leaves a lasting impression.
On this site, you'll find a curated archive of sold artworks, original sculptures, and oil on board paintings. If something catches your eye, or you’d like to commission a custom piece, Charlie would love to hear from you.
