The Artist Behind These Unique Ceramic creations

The Hands Behind the Clay: Meet Angelina Chung

Hello and welcome! I’m Angelina Chung, an artist and potter based in Belfast. My journey with clay is deeply rooted in who I am and where I come from.

As an Irish-Asian artist, I was born and bred in beautiful Sligo back in the '90s. Growing up surrounded by the wild Atlantic landscapes shaped my creative eye, leading me to pursue my Master of Fine Arts (MFA). During my time in university, I deeply studied contemporary and modern art styles, learning everything from historic movements to present-day techniques. This education pushed my boundaries, refined my technical skills, and helped shape the professional artist I am today.

Today, I run Clay Fairy Ceramics from my bustling, creative Belfast home, which I share with my husband and our children. Our house is a wonderful mix of family life and daily creative clay magic.

Everyday Magic: Crystal Mugs & Limited Batches

My signature Clay Fairy Ceramics collection hold a very special place in my heart, born from a lifelong love of crystals. I realized that, just like me, so many people collect beautiful crystals or gemstones only to let them sit in a corner gathering dust. I wanted to show people that you can incorporate these beautiful stones into everyday, functional items that you hold and use. Each crystal is carefully chosen and individually placed onto specific mugs. I imagine them as tiny conduits, gently guiding positive, grounding energy toward you as you enjoy your morning or evening cuppa.

As a true one-woman band, I am always dreaming up and creating something new. I intentionally work in very small, exclusive batches, crafting little ceramic objects that transcend being mere household items—they become talismans of beauty with pure intention.

Because of the immense time, care, and storytelling behind this process, my work is highly collectible. Once a collection sells out, nine times out of ten, that specific design will not be restocked. The unique piece you claim today is truly a rare treasure that is stamped with a makers mark and dated!

Life on the Road: Traveling Market to Market

If you’ve ever visited an artisan market across Ireland or Northern Ireland, we may have crossed paths! I regularly pack my little car to the brim, traveling hours to bring my pottery wheel directly to my market stall.

I love throwing clay live because it lets me connect with you face-to-face. Because my handsculpted pieces—especially my miniature magic creations—sell out incredibly fast at these markets, it’s often hard for me to upload them to the website in time!

To see exactly where my pottery journey is taking me next and to catch a glimpse of what is fresh off the wheel, make sure to follow my journey on social media or sign up for my newsletter. Don't hesitate to send me a message—I always love chatting with fellow craft lovers and helping you find your perfect piece of authentic, handmade pottery!

Mindful Pottery Classes in the Studio

My life as a potter is a balance of two worlds, quiet studio days and bustling market weekends. Every single piece you see has been meticulously shaped by my hands, painted by my brush, and fired in my studio.

What started as a solo creative outlet has grown into a wonderful space of community. Today, I proudly teach a variety of pottery classes right in my studio, offering courses tailored for everyone—from absolute beginners and intermediates all the way to master-level students. Whether you want to learn hand-building or the rhythm of wheel-throwing, I teach it all.

Our lives are so fast-paced right now, and it is an absolute joy to welcome people into my space to slow down and learn and just have fun. My classes give you a dedicated two or three hours entirely to yourself to focus, relax, and expand your own unique creativity.
