Bluecoat Display Centre is delighted to present a solo show of stunning hand blown glass by the Irish glass artist Catherine Keenan. Catherine says “The physical rhythm required to work with molten glass is what I fell in love with. I wish to communicate the vitality and exuberance of the making experience. I like to be playful with the material and hope that my pieces themselves are joyful in the use of colour and pattern”.

Catherine Keenan’s fascination with hot glass began while studying at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Graduating in 2006, she is currently Resident Artist at Flowerfield Arts Centre, Portstewart. Keenan has since won many awards and is presented in important national collections including Ulster Museum and the National Museum of Ireland
