Mount IdaPottery

Mount Ida Pottery works from a studio on Mount Ida Road in Banbridge, where owner Trevor Woods runs hand-building and wheel-throwing classes alongside his own studio practice. The attached gallery sells pieces described as inspired by nature, and the pottery also takes on commission work for private clients and organisations. Beyond the shop, Mount Ida's ceramics are stocked by outlets across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Scotland. Classes can be booked online or by phone, and studio demonstrations run alongside the teaching sessions, so visitors can watch work being thrown before trying it themselves.
