Rosemarie Durr

Rosemarie Durr is based in Castlecomer, Kilkenny. Her studio is located in the Craft Yard of Castlecomer Discovery Park, a former estate. This converted farmyard is a fitting place to find her at work given that Rosemarie’s strong appreciation of tradition and beauty in the everyday stem from her home life growing up in Roscommon; “life on a busy family farm shaped an appreciation for carrying tradition and care and a sense of home within you”. 

Having originally trained in graphic design, Rosemarie fell in love with ceramics “from the minute I touched the clay” on a night course in pottery which prompted a career move.
