Following their presentation at St Carthage Cathedral in Lismore, Ireland in May-June 2024 and Loggos, Paxos in July 2024,  these eight prominent Irish ceramicists will be exhibiting in the company of their Greek colleagues here in The Courthouse Arts Centre. 

The project for these three exhibitions - bringing together contemporary Greek and Irish ceramicists in a dynamic creative dialogue - was initiated last summer in an exhibition held in Paxos for the fifth edition of the annual Irish festival of Paxos – Irish Wings, 2023: “Irish and Greek Ceramic Art in Paxos” (Old Schoolhouse, Loggos, 14 July – 8 August 2023). Since 2017 the Irish Wings festival, under the direction of Kathryn Baird, has brought important Irish contemporary musicians, poets, writers and artists to Paxos in events and exhibitions attended every year by an enthusiastic international audience and by the Irish Ambassador to Greece.

This is a unique opportunity to discover the variety in form, texture, colour, technique and expressitivity of contemporary Irish and Greek ceramics.

Exhibition curated by Chris Boïcos and Jane Jermyn.
