Trim Castle
$22.00
The largest Norman keep in Ireland still stands above the Boyne. Hugh de Lacy began it around 1172. Eight centuries on, the curtain wall holds a meadow that slopes down to the river, and the twenty-sided tower has the same patient grey it has always had. Trim grew up around the castle, then went quiet, the way market towns do. Late in the day the light catches the stone and turns it warm. Children play football on the grass below the keep. The Boyne moves the way it has always moved.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
