Orla Culligan creates unique slipcast ceramics for the home in Cork, Ireland. She strives to provide high-quality products that bring joy to the owner’s home while keeping her business sustainable by minimizing waste and maintaining a low environmental impact.
The original inspiration for her work comes from discovering 'rubbish' washed up on the beaches where she grew up in East Cork. As she walks along the beach, flotsam and jetsam become tangled among the seaweed, their bright synthetic man-made colours standing out. Upon closer scrutiny, these objects reveal a gorgeous range of textures where the sea has intervened; seams and edges have softened, yet evidence of the making process and the machine still remains.
