Sadly Michael passed suddenly in March '21.
He was described as one of Ireland's leading potters. This piece is one to be treasured.
Michael created both functional and sculptural ceramics for over 40 years, he worked in both stoneware and porcelain. Michael was a masterful thrower, who incorporated sculptural elements, rich surface textures and a wide range of colours to create his original style of functional and decorative ceramics.
