What you’ll find

What Nicholas Mosse Pottery is known for

Nicholas Mosse has thrown and hand-sponge-decorated earthenware tableware at a former flour mill on the River Nore in Bennettsbridge since the 1970s, using motifs like the running fox and shamrock drawn from the Irish countryside. The mill site still houses the pottery, a Mill Café, and a shop where visitors can watch pieces being made.
