How the shop works

The shop is updated 3-4 times per year with new forms and new glazes that change seasonally.

When its gone, its gone !

Although we do repeat some of our classic forms like “ The Mug” in “Sandstone”, a lot of pieces are made in small batches or are one-of-a-kind, and won’t be re-made.

If you want to be sure not to miss out, then why not sign up to our newsletter to receive alerts when new collections go live.

How it began!

Araucaria Ceramics is an Irish owned pottery studio based in the beautiful surroundings of the Dublin Mountains, run and founded by Daniel Woodsmith. Dan, originally a chef for more than 10 years, is a self-taught potter who turned his hands from plating food to creating tableware in 2017. 

The restaurant scene

With his knowledge of the kitchen, passion for food, and minimal design, Dan has worked with some of the best chefs in Ireland and beyond to create designs that complement their culinary vision.

Every piece is hand thrown using stoneware clay as well as local, hand-dug, Irish clay, and are fired in an electric or raku kiln.
