Two practices,
one roof.
who are we?
POTADÓIR
Potadoir is a family business. In our studio in Ennis, we teach pottery, produce our range of ceramics, and teach yoga in our beautiful custom-built yoga studio. In combination, our offering is a haven for creativity and mindful practice. You can come and experience the energy of the space by taking a class, and you can bring our ethos home through our homewares collection.
Everything we do is passion-driven: Potadóir is a passion project that’s turned in to a business, and we keep that energy at the heart of everything we do.
Kevin is the potter; he leads our production team, and manages the teaching programme.
He learned his trade unconventionally; originally trained as a lawyer, he enrolled in a throwing for beginners course in Dublin in 2022, and instantly became obsessed.
In 2023, he travelled from Ireland to Morocco by land - through France, Portugal and Spain. The journey was a pilgrimage to clay - every stop was a different masterclass, studio or immersive experience in pottery. After months of seeking pottery experiences, he settled in Oslo to produce work and absorb the creative inspiration of Scandinavian design.
In 2024, he relocated to West Clare, and Potadoir was born! Initially, the studio was built in an old stone cowshed in Spanish Point. Potadoir spent 2 happy years in the West, before making the move to Ennis in 2025.
Kevin - the potter
Dzana is the spiritual backbone and much of the organising force behind Potadóir; she manages the yoga studio, and runs our meditation and mindfulness practices.
Dzana trained as a yoga teacher over 6 years ago, and she has taught all over the country in that time. Her practice is rooted deeply in the philosophy of yoga, and of Buddhism. Both Dzana and Kevin follow the Plum Village tradition of Buddhism, which is woven throughout Dzana’s teaching offerings. You can learn more about the Plum Village tradition of Buddhism here.

LET’S GET CREATIVE
play with clay!
Come and experience pottery in our studio in Ennis. We offer one-off studio experiences, weekend courses, and blocks of evening classes to suit all experience levels. You don’t need to consider yourself an artist, or a creative person, to have fun with clay - just come with an open mind and a willingness to get a bit messy!
We run regular blocks of evening and daytime classes, and we also are available to organise private experiences for groups of friends/family, as well as corporate wellbeing days.
Join a yoga class
Our yoga schedule is designed to fit all needs; from Ashtanga on a Monday evening, to monthly Sunday sound baths. We have something for everyone, and loads of opportunities to experience yoga for the first time and to deepen your practice.
The only way to experience yoga is to experience it: come and join a class, and see how it feels.
