Brookwood Pottery combines Elaine Fallon's ceramics studio with a design shop in Marino, Dublin. Its own stoneware tableware sits alongside jewellery and other work by Irish makers. Pottery classes provide a way to spend time working with clay as well as choosing a finished piece.

Brookwood Pottery brings making and retail together in Marino, Dublin. Elaine Fallon established the business in 2012 and opened the Marino design shop and studio in 2021. Its own stoneware includes mugs and bowls as well as vases and candle holders, with glazes forming an important part of the finished pieces.
The shop also stocks work by other Irish makers. Jewellery and textiles broaden the choice beyond ceramics. Prints and smaller household gifts let a visit range across different crafts. Brookwood's own pottery and another maker's work remain distinct collections, so a question about production should be directed to the particular item rather than answered for the whole shop.
Classes offer another way to engage with the studio. Someone interested in working with clay can consult the published programme, while a shopper can concentrate on the finished tableware. For a useful comparison, look at the form and glaze of the pieces intended for everyday use alongside more decorative objects. The appeal lies in being able to encounter a working pottery practice and a wider design selection at the same address.

Chupi is an Irish jewelry brand founded in 2013 by Chupi Sweetman, a former fashion designer. Its flagship retail store is inside the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre on Clarendon Street in Dublin, a Georgian-era shopping arcade. The brand is built around recycled-gold jewelry and works with an in-house team of goldsmiths on site; Sweetman has described plans to expand the Dublin space with a second floor for private client appointments and additional workshop space for the goldsmithing team. Coverage of the brand frames it around Sweetman's own story and the goldsmithing operation being based in the Dublin shop rather than the jewelry being produced elsewhere and only sold there.
ESL’s in-house goldsmiths create custom jewellery, remodel unworn pieces and work with lab-grown diamonds. The redesign service is especially useful for reusing sentimental stones or metal in a wearable new form.
