Photographer to potter - Fiona McLoughlin, Old Cow Clayworks, talks about her creative adventure

The Penny podcast is where creatives, technologists and disrupters share their exciting and inspiring journeys which are often non-linear and this story is no exception.

In this episode, we're delighted to be talking with creative entrepreneur Fiona McLoughlin, owner of Old Cow Clayworks, in Drumshanbo, Ireland.

She tells the story of her major career change and how she left her successful 20 year photographic and management career behind to realise her childhood dream of becoming a potter. She is now on the cusp of launching her own shop and working with one of the biggest new business success stories in Ireland – Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin.

We talk about how she has developed her creative practice, the entrepreneurial support she has received and the skills she has needed to develop. We also learn about her brand story, how she approaches marketing and sales, and the work she has done in setting up her own studio.
