SARA FLYNN
CERAMIST
Sara Flynn has been working exclusively with porcelain since she established her own studio in 2000. Based in rural Co. Cork she focuses on the challenges and demands of working with porcelain, explored through the theme of the thrown vessel.
Great care is taken to create finely thrown forms that are then cut, pushed, reassembled, scraped and sponged to emphasise precise and undulating contours and curves. All of her work is characterised by a rich spectrum of colours ranging from cool and subtle whites and greens to vibrant and complex reds and blacks. The meticulous attention to detail in choosing both the forms made and the glazes applied results in work that is refined and elegant. Recent exhibitions include, Galerie Besson, London, UK and Material Poetry, New York, USA, 2010. Flynn’s work is featured in many public and private collections including those of the Office of Public Works, Ireland; the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin; Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork, Ireland; the Department of Foreign Affairs Collection, Dublin, Ireland and Columbus State University, Georgia, USA.
