Nicholas Mosse studied ceramics in London and in Japan before returning to his native Kilkenny to found Nicholas Mosse Pottery. He is now one of the country's most successful potters and his work is known far beyond Ireland, with extensive sales worldwide. Together with his wife, Susan, Nicholas has extended his business into other areas of traditional Irish crafts and style, incorporating a range of fabrics and glass, a restaurant and the restoration of a 40-acre 18th-century garden complete with traditional cottage and waterfall. Nicholas's pottery and home have been featured in many leading magazines, including Country Living, House & Garden, Garden Design and Homes & Gardens.
