With 35 years of experience in crystal art, Sean Egan began his apprenticeship as a cutter with Waterford Crystal in 1974. Having qualified and worked as a cutter for a number of years, he started his apprenticeship in 1986, a further five years training as an engraver.

In 2006 whilst working in Waterford Crystal he was asked to create a piece for a commemorative piece for 9/11.
