Sara Flynn (b.1971) was born in Cork, where she attended Crawford College of Art. She now lives in Belfast. Her vessels are thrown and altered – by pushing, pinching or cutting - at various stages of the drying process, then finished with spray glazes and polishing. She works exclusively in porcelain and favours a rich bronze-brown glaze (sometimes referred to as ‘black’) and also produces white or, more recently, yellow pots. Flynn concentrates on one-off vessels which are sculptural and decorative rather than functional and produced as a result of experimentation with process and finish, form and volume. Many of her experimental pieces never reach the final fired-finish stage.
