Eoin Turner studied Fine Art specialising in both painting and sculpture in Cork’s College of Art and Design graduating in 1988. After graduating,Eoin in keeping with family tradition, followed his father and brother and embarked on a life at sea spending 10 years as a fisherman, mostly working out of Castletownbere on the south West coast of Ireland. In the late 90’s he moved to the South of France where he spent time working in the luxury yacht industry.Upon returning to Ireland, Eoin and his partner, painter Lorraine Mullins, set up a glass studio specialising in casting and fusing glass for architectural applications. Parallel to his architectural designs he has developed his own personal body of sculptural design pieces, which owe much to his Fine Art background. Each unique piece reflecting an echo of earlier paintings and sculptures, which in turn owe much to his lifelong association with the sea. The pieces made from cast glass and formed metal combine to bring a subtle and at the same time rugged and defined form.
