Stephen's parents Philip and Lucy Pearce established Shanagarry Pottery, down a leafy lane, on the shores of Ballycotton Bay in 1953. The black and white Shanagarry design was first produced here and soon became an internationally recognised Irish design classic.

In 1991 Stephen took over the running of the Shanagarry Pottery and moved some of the production to his new, purpose built pottery, one mile up the road to Shanagarry Village, to the Stephen Pearce Gallery, in the grounds of Shanagarry Castle.

However if you want to see where it all started The Old Pottery is still a thriving pottery and shop, where you can purchase the full Stephen Pearce range and even snap up some seconds too.
