Noel
Teacher
he/himNoel is a mostly self-taught potter whose love for ceramics began with a week-long course at Arran Street East in Smithfield. From there, he spent many evenings at Trinity Arts workshops and later refined his skills as a ceramicist during two years as a member at Brookwood Pottery. Now a part of Throwing Shapes, Noel creates both wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics while teaching hand-building and wheel-throwing taster classes at the studio. Passionate about sharing his craft, he hopes to inspire others to fall in love with clay as he did.
Nature plays a significant role in Noel’s work, often inspired by walks with his Bernese Mountain Dog along the Royal Canal, where he collects reeds for hakeme brushes or draws textures from tree bark and flora. His creations have been featured in design shops across the country, commercially in hotels and restaurants, and at craft markets throughout the year.
