Lucy
Ceramics are the creations of Lucy Dolan. Born and raised in the Midlands
town of Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland. Lucy choose to pursue a career
in Art & Design through an introductory PLC course at Ballyfermot College
Dublin. During this year of experimenting with many mediums, Lucy decided
to study Ceramic Design at the Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork.
Lucy
concentrated on exploring how the National Identity of Ireland was portrayed
in Ceramics. She developed contemporary designs that drew from Irelands
greatest Treasures, which was an inspiration for Lucy's Diploma show in
1995. Lucy began to perfect her throwing skills. This led her to a placement
at the reputed craft council of Irelands Pottery skills course at Thomastown,
Co. Kilkenny. Lucy's desire to produce an innovative range of Authentic
Irish Ceramics brought her back to Crawford where in the following year
she obtained her Bachelors of Art in Ceramic Design.
Lucy
returned to her hometown and established "Lucy Ceramics" her solo venture
where she produces high quality stoneware ceramics indicative of Lucy's
vision.
