Nestled on a 250-year-old farm overlooking the wild Atlantic coast of southwest Ireland, Tillaughna Studio is the creative home of artist Kirsi Salo. The studio’s name honors the rich history and enduring legacy of this ancient land.

Kirsi’s work unfolds across two intertwined mediums: ceramics and painting. Each practice is a response to the landscape, memory, and materiality that surround her daily life.

In the ceramics studio, Kirsi crafts both functional and sculptural pieces inspired by the textures and colors of the land and sea — earthenware vessels shaped by the rhythm of tides and seasons.

In her painting practice, Kirsi explores light, form, and emotion through evocative compositions that dialogue with her ceramic work, bringing together surface, depth, and story.

Though the ceramics bear the Tillaughna Studio name, Kirsi’s painting practice continues to flourish as Kirsi Salo Art, creating a layered narrative of place and creativity.
