Beer Buddies by Design Clinic Gift Ware
Seamus Moran
The unique sculptures of Seamus Moran - Like all artists, I have always enjoyed making things. It's the idea of transferring something which was just a thought, into a tangible visual object which I find so addictive. Since I can remember I have painted/sculpted/assembled all manner of things from a variety of materials, gradually moving towards sculpture as my weapon of choice. Working in 3D produces objects; objects which can be viewed from different angles, seen in different lights and cast different shadows. They are tactile as well as visual, and have a real physical presence. Most of my work is about capturing a non-representational presence. I graduated in 1984 in Ceramics with glass and started work as a Model/mouldmaker in the Potteries in Stoke on Trent. It was here that I learned about production and how I could get to make exactly what I wanted time and time again. A twist of fate brought me to Cornwall in 1988, and another made me redundant. I went into business with my friend Richard in 1990 trading as Design Clinic, specialising in innovative resin-cast giftware (see www.designclinic.co.uk). I designed and sculpted almost everything the company has ever produced, creating a niche in the market for the fusion of styles which has become the Design Clinic trademark. I have been a partner in Design Clinic ever since, mass-producing my designs and selling them world-wide.
Design Clinic
Design Clinic was formed in 1990 by Seamus Moran and Richard House both of whom had worked for several years in the ceramics industry specialising in modeling and mould-making. Whilst undertaking commissioned work for customers in the ceramics and resin casting industries, it was soon decided to develop a range of original products and the technique of "cold-casting" using powdered metals and resin was a logical and flexible choice. Design Clinic has built up a range of unusual and innovative gift ware - from plates and clocks to bookends and trinket boxes, from purely decorative to beautifully practical - which has become the mainstay of the business and now supplies a growing number of customers domestically and internationally.
