By using the chemical reactions of her materials, she pushes them to create interesting, unique pieces of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking primarily with copper and white glass, Sinéad employs copper oxides to transform enamel colours, using techniques such as sifting, sgraffito, and overfiring. She often textures her copper surfaces to catch the enamel within indentations, highlighting the fluid movement of the glass under intense heat. Many pieces feature enamel pulled back to reveal the copper beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of her copper forms are handspun to her design by master craftsperson Warren Martin in Sheffield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSinéad's deepening expertise and fascination with copper have driven her progression — from creating small, tactile bowls to producing large-scale statement pieces for galleries and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3566\/9590\/collections\/FullSizeRender_f87813f5-6dde-47bb-b8ac-15a0494f926b.jpg?v=1783597280","url":"https:\/\/fluxbristol.co.uk\/collections\/cruan.oembed","provider":"Flux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
