The kind-hearted actions of one woman this Christmas resulted in a generous donation to Amber Kilkenny Women’s Refuge.
Zsofia Szommer moved to Kilkenny with her family last year and set up her own business, The Happy Pottery on Kickham Street.
Within weeks the pandemic hit and Zsofia was forced to shut up shop.
With a resourceful and can-do attitude Zsofia, who worked in advertising in her native Hungary, decided to continue working and fosters the belief that creativity can be empowering in challenging times.
“The Happy Pottery was born out of a wish to create an open, accessible, creative space for everyone,” she said.
