About Us

There are many superlatives that can be used to describe the work of Tyrone ceramicist Michelle Butler including wonderfully rustic, highly original and organic.

Michelle Butler is a Design Graduate from Falmouth School of Art where she specialised in Ceramics.  In December 1998 she started her business in the Omagh Enterprise Centre from where she relocated, in August 2005 to a barn at her home on the Gortin Road, Omagh where Sperrin Ceramics Studio was born.

Her stoneware ceramics have developed a style which reconciles primitive Celtic influences with contemporary designs and forms.  The pieces are all handcrafted using textured stoneware clay and are finished with a rich metallic oxide producing a depth of lustre.

A large variety of glazes are used to apply colour to specific areas of pattern and relief creating a rustic earthy ambience that makes each piece a unique gift from Ireland.

Celtic Stone, Iron Stone and Jewellery Collections are available in outlets throughout Ireland and abroad.  Celtic Stone draws its influence in strong ancient Irish legacy while Iron Stone features larger pots and lamp bases which are coil built and handcarved.  The Michelle Butler Jewellery Collections boasts an amalgamation of these styles in a range of smaller distinctive jewellery items.
