Lough Erne Devenish Island
$22.00
A small green island in Lower Lough Erne, north of Enniskillen. The kind of place a saint chose in the sixth century because the water did the work of a wall. Saint Molaise founded the monastery around 540. The round tower came later, twelfth century, and is still standing, dressed stone with four small windows facing the cardinal directions. The ferry from Trory runs in summer. The crossing takes only a few minutes, and the wind tends to drop in the lee of the island. The round tower comes into view all at once.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
