MEET OUR HEAD DECORATOR - MICHAEL HOLDEN
We chatted with Michael Holden, who is now our head decorator, about what it has been like working here at Nicholas Mosse Pottery for the last 33 years.
ROASTED PUMPKIN WITH HAZELNUT AND SAGE PESTO
Celebrate the season with this simple yet delicious autumnal recipe. Use it as an accompaniment to a chicken dish, leftover turkey or enjoy it on its own as a light meal.
POTTERS GLAZE
It is guaranteed to transform the humblest of home made baking into total elegance. And if you don’t have time to create elaborate icing, this is the answer.
IRISH STEW WITH KILKENNY’S LOCAL ALE, SMITHWICKS
St. Patrick would definitely approve of us all having a warming stew waiting for us on our return from the festivities.
SUSAN MOSSE'S GREEN SPAGHETTI
Beautiful, yet healthy, this spaghetti forms the perfect base for all sorts of variations!
CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
From Rudolph’s red nose to garlands of lights on every Main Street, shining light is an essential part of Christmas.
THE TEA TABLE AT CHRISTMAS
It can be tiny, it can be huge, round or square, but it MUST always be ‘at the ready’! A Christmasy table cloth sets it apart.
NATURE’S BOUNTY AT CHRISTMAS
Another way to approach the season is to decorate your house and table with simpler, more natural pieces.
CHRISTMAS COLOUR
We like to think about table settings long before Christmas is upon us (well, it IS what we do!)
IRISH CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
During the holidays, work comes to a standstill and suddenly everyone has free time to enjoy with loved ones. After all, an Irish Christmas is all about family and friends.
A PLACE AT THE TABLE
What if you treated your tabletop as art, as a frame or canvas? Pretend you had all your favourite colours, shapes, layers and textures to use in creating your picture. What would you do?
CHRISTMAS BAKING
Gingerbread, spice cookies, sugar cookies, cupcakes are all intergenerational delights and even a 3 year old will be a whizz at sticking ‘noses and eyes’ onto iced treats.
