Eleanor Swan

Biography

Eleanor Swan lives in Newbridge, Co Kildare, Ireland.

Swan graduated from NCAD (National College of Art and Design, Dublin) in 2006 with B.Des (Ceramics) 1st Class Hons and an MA in Design (Ceramics) in 2010.
She is a passionate ceramic artist and has a very successful art practice working full time from her studio at Russborough House, Blessington, Co Wicklow, Ireland. Her ceramic practice covers a variety of issues that are of interest to her, from a current social commentary to an exploration of ceramics for our senses.

Clay, for Eleanor, provides endless possibilities to explore, how we exist, react and live in our world today. She has found that her work often results in a dialogue on issues that many are slow to comment on.

Swan has exhibited nationally and internationally and has work in many public and private collections in Ireland and abroad including New Taipei City Yingge Ceramic Museum, Taiwan (2015, 2017), IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art) (2013), The Museum of Decorative Arts, Dublin (2010, 2006), The National Porcelain Museum, Riga Latvia (2009), Ceramic Museum, Jingdzehn, China (2007), and the OPW (Office of Public Works) Dublin (2006).
