Hello everyone! This is Cian Tierney. He's 28 years old and was born and raised in a teeny tiny village on the western coast of Ireland called Liscannor in Co. Clare just a few miles from the cliffs of Moher.
Cian makes his living as a glass blower and potter. He learned the art of glass making from his uncle who's worked for Waterford Crystal for a few decades now, and loved it so much that he also decided to make it his career. He moved from Liscannor to Waterford when he was eighteen and with the help of his uncle also got a job at the Waterford Crystal factory where he worked until 2010. At that point, he moved to Dublin and worked in a few pubs until he was settled and could save up for what he really wanted.
As of two years ago, he is the owner of The Looking Glass. The front half of the shop is a gallery where he displays and sells his own work as well as that of other local artists. The back of the shop was converted into a studio space where he works during the day and allows people to rent time in as well. He also teaches small group or private lessons in glass blowing and pottery.
He's very close with his family, especially his younger sister, and tries to get back to Liscannor several times a year to visit them. As far as personality goes, he's exactly what you might imagine: a bit quiet, sort of eccentric, likes collecting odd bits and bobs, and is very serious about his work. Though he doesn't always come across as such at first, Cian is also very warm and still knows how to let loose and have a good time. Even if it does take a bit of coaxing or a few pints to get him going.
I'm not looking for any lines specifically, so let's just brainstorm and see what we come up with alright? Looking forward to playing with you all!
