Lot Essay

Sara Flynn studied Ceramic Design at Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork. It was in her final year that she began experimenting with porcelain. Flynn experiments by throwing simple forms, which are then altered at varying stages of the drying process to create subtle variations on the theme of the vessel (A. Game, Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to The Fitzwilliam Museum, 2016, p. 250). She was the winner of a major award from Ceramics Ireland in 2010 and was shortlisted for the inaugural Loewe Craft Prize in 2017.
