Jumping headfirst into 2018, we're excited to be showing new work at Maison et Objet as part of the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland’s Design Ireland presentation, and once again taking a stand-alone space at Showcase in Dublin.
We will be showing CITYSCAPE | DUBLIN, a series of new studio-made glazes reflecting the city-centre stone, slate, and steel of Dublin, and introducing the first pieces in our new flatware and lighting collections.
Located in the heart of Dublin City, we make beautiful, functional homewares by hand, on a wheel. Each piece is made to exacting designs and we're looking for a production potter who is able to repeat-throw accurately, who has a passion for attention to detail, and who would love to join our fun and growing team.
If you have:
- 2 to 3 years’ relevant production-throwing experience within the pottery industry;
- a deep understanding of ceramic production processes;
- the ability to work carefully, neatly, and to deadlines;
- a desire to work on your own initiative and as part of a creative team;
- and a can-do attitude;
please contact us now to arrange a test-throw on hello@arranstreeteast.ie.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Happiest of holidays to all you wonderful people! We hope you have the most magical day, and maybe even find some Arran Street East under the tree.
To help make your day even better, here's a recipe for the perfect mulled wine, from our favourite foodie Aoife McElwain.
This simple mulled wine recipe is best made with a decent bottle of wine. The better the wine, the tastier the mulled wine! Full-bodied and bold wines like Syrah and Malbec are perfect for this seasonally spiced drink.
1 bottle of decent red wine
2 cinnamon sticks
4 star anise
4 cloves
2 oranges, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
100g of brown sugar
1. Place all the ingredients into a large saucepan or pot. Bring to a simmer but don't boil. Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
2. To serve, pour the mulled wine into Arran Street East beakers. Add a slice of orange to the beaker and enjoy warm.
Christmas is almost upon us, and while we've been getting pots ready for all our Christmas orders, we've also been crushing on some gorgeous design that we'd love to find under the tree on Sunday morning.
We love the linen dresses from Not Gilty - the perfect uniform for simple and beautiful clothes to wear every day. The Closca foldable bike helmet is super safe, practical, and yet stylish too - no mean feat for a bicycle helmet. BySandia handmakes her painted suede necklaces in Ireland, they've got us thinking up festival outfits to wear them with already.
Ohhio is a Kickstarter funded brand making these incredible enormous knit blankets - exactly what you need to wrap up in on St. Stephen's Day. We love this slimline foldover pouch from Everlane - perfect for decluttering for 2017, and a great example of Everlane's radical transparency model in action. And finally, just one pot, Svend Bayer's lipped mixing bowl: simple, refined, and with echoes of Bayer's Far Eastern influence.
Happy holiday-ing to all our friends, we hope you all find things that you love waiting for you this Christmas!
