SUMMARY:David Farrelly: Recycling Glass - A Truly Sustainable Activity
DESCRIPTION:Part of our 2022 Summer Glass Festival \n\nDavid Farrelly\, General Manager with Glassco Recycling talks about how the recycling of glass packaging is a truly sustainable activity. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Information \nThe recycling of glass packaging is a truly sustainable activity. When glass in deposited into bring banks around Ireland\, this glass is collected\, processed and remelted into new glass bottles and jars on the island of Ireland. The use of recycled glass (cullet) in furnaces to manufacture new glass packaging takes less energy to melt than using the glass raw materials of soda ash\, limestone and silica sand. The more cullet that can be used in the batch process to make glass bottles the higher the saving on energy required and the lower the CO2 footprint. \nAbout Glassco Recycling  \nGlassco Recycling is Irelands largest glass recycling company accounting for the recycling of over 75% of all the glass deposited in bring banks by members of the public across c.1250 bring sites nationwide. The company collected\, processed and marketed more than 137\,000 tonnes of glass and cans in 2021. Glassco Recycling is unique amongst recycling companies in Ireland in terms of the diversity of its workplace. The company has long been an employer of people with special needs and currently the company employs 11 people with special needs out of a total workforce of 81. \nBiography \nDavid Farrelly (General Manager of Glassco Recycling) has held a number of management positions within companies involved in the Irish recycling sector. He also represents Ireland at FERVER which is the European association for glass recycling companies.

SUMMARY:The Global Reach of Harry Clarke Studios - Glass Society of Ireland Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:The Harry Clarke Studios became one of the most important Irish art businesses of the 20th century. Paul Donnelly charts the growth globally. \nIn 1930 Harry Clarke renamed the church decoration and stained glass making firm he inherited from his father as ‘Harry Clarke Studios’. One of Clarke’s ambitions for the Studios was to expand his business beyond Ireland so that his name would achieve international recognition. Although he died in the following year\, the Studios became one of the most important Irish art businesses of the twentieth century\, continuing to operate under the same name for more than forty years. In that period the company produced hundreds of stained glass windows for patrons in Ireland and overseas. The largest market for its work was the United States where more than six hundred windows were commissioned for thirty-four churches. The majority of this stained glass is located in California\, with other commissions coming from clients in Arizona\, New York\, New Jersey\, Pennsylvania\, Texas and Washington. Drawing on information obtained from the Studios business archive held in the Library of Trinity College Dublin\, this talk explores the extent of this artistic endeavour\, how it was achieved and the practicalities involved in creating and delivering work over such long distances. \nPaul Donnelly is a final year doctoral candidate at Trinity College Dublin. His research focuses on the stained glass produced by Harry Clarke Studios for American clients in mid-twentieth century. Paul’s interest is in the legacy of Harry Clarke and on how cultural\, religious and economic developments both in Ireland and the United States impacted the Clarke Studios’ stained glass production. He is the recipient of research travel grants from the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Thomas Dammann Junior Memorial Trust. His publications include contributions to Harry Clarke and Artistic Visions of the New Irish State (Irish Academic Press\, 2019) and Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass (Irish Academic Press\, 2021). \nFree for GSOI Members\, Register on Zoom here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvcuuvrTwuHtxI12pYPGNHk7z2Zzao_qKl \nNon-Members\, reserve your tickets here for : https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-global-reach-of-harry-clarke-studios-glass-society-of-ireland-lecture-tickets-272923771347

SUMMARY:Medieval stained glass - the original social media? Glass Society of Ireland Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Medieval stained glass – the original social media? \n​In this lecture Colette Langan invites you to consider how stained glass was greeted by the medieval mind. This will be an exploration of the imagery in stained glass that reflects surprisingly contemporary issues. \nColette Langan is a stained glass conservator and maker. Originally trained in the UK in 1983\, she served her time working under mentors Alfred Fisher and Steve Clare from the UK’s leading stained glass conservation studio\, Holy Well Glass. There she worked on many iconic glass windows in buildings including Westminster Abbey\, Winchester Cathedral and The Tower of London at Chapel Studio\, UK. On her return to Ireland she set up her own studio in the North West\, in Carrick on Shannon Co Leitrim\, where she continues to practice stained glass restoration alongside contemporary design. Today as well as conservation\, her studio practice includes stained glass design\, incorporating glass painting\, and glass fusing techniques. She also makes one-off large and small autonomous art works. She sees education as an important element of her work in both restoration and the creative experience.

SUMMARY:Richard King’s Stylistic Development from 1930-73 - Glass Society of Ireland Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Richard King’s stained glass for churches in Ireland and overseas & artistic influences that formed his development. \nPresented by Ruth Sheehy \nThis lecture focuses on Richard King’s commissions for Catholic churches in Ireland and overseas. Artistic influences that formed his development such as his mentor Harry Clarke and other Irish modernist stained glass artists such as Evie Hone\, will be discussed. \nReligion which was the main theme of his stained glass windows\, revealed King’s interest in the Scriptures and theology. During the 1930s-40s\, nationalism reflected his understanding of Irish identity. This was expressed in King’s only secular stained glass work The Kevin Barry Memorial Window (1932-34) in the Charles Institute of Dermatology\, UCD. \nKing’s art from the late 1940s to early to mid 60s\, involved experimentation and eclecticism in style and technique in order to discover his own artistic identity. His engagement with modernism from the late 1940s onwards\, was shown by cubism\, expressionism and abstraction in his stained glass windows from the mid to late 1950s to the early 70s. Vatican II (1962-65) and King’s reading of the theological writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ\, contributed to his profound and authentic interpretation of religious themes in his late stained glass from the mid 1960s to early 70s. \nBIOGRAPHY \nRuth Sheehy is an art historian and Slide and Photographic Librarian emerita in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture\, Trinity College Dublin. Her catalogue raisonné of The Paintings of Richard King for The Capuchin Annual was completed in 1992. She was awarded an MLitt (NUI) from the School of Art History and Cultural Policy\, UCD\, in 2007\, for her thesis The Religious Art of Richard King in Ireland: 1933-73. This thesis formed the basis for Sheehy’s monograph on The Life and Work of Richard King: Religion\, Nationalism and Modernism\, published in the Reimagining Ireland series by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers\, in January\, 2020. Sheehy has published articles on Richard King’s stained glass and religious art in Ireland in Studies and Cathair Na Mart. She was also a contributor to the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass Revised New Edition\, published by Irish Academic Press in 2021. \nFree for GSOI Members\, €11.09 for non-Members\, reserve your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/richard-kings-stylistic-development-from-1930-73-glass-society-of-ireland-tickets-275599885677

SUMMARY:120 years of Irish Stained Glass - Glass Society of Ireland Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:120 Years of Irish Stained Glass highlights Irish Stained Glass from the foundation of An Túr Gloine in 1903 to the present day. \nPresented by David Caron for the Glass Society of Ireland 2nd Tuesday’s Lecture Series 2022  \nTo coincide with the publication of the revised and expanded edition of the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass which he edited\, David Caron’s talk will focus on highlights of Irish Stained Glass from the foundation of An Túr Gloine in 1903 to the present day. David has focused on ten artists and chosen a selection of their key works. The artists are A.E. Child\, Michael Healy\, Harry Clarke\, Wilhelmina Geddes\, Richard King\, Evie Hone\, Patrick Pye\, Johnny Murphy and Róisín Dowd Murphy (both of Murphy-Devitt Studios)\, George W. Walsh and Peter Young. The talk will introduce each artist in chronological order and provide context for their work and the general development of Irish stained glass during the period. The majority of the images for the talk were taken by Jozef Vrtiel\, specialist stained glass photographer\, who was the principal photographer for the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass (published by the Irish Academic Press\, 2021). \nDavid Caron was born in Dublin and studied Visual Communication at the National College of Art and Design\, Dublin\, to which he returned in due course as lecturer and was subsequently appointed as Head of Department. He was one of the three original compilers of the first edition of the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass in 1988\, along with the late Dr Nicola Gordon Bowe and the late Dr. Michael Wynne. David’s PhD research at Trinity College Dublin focused on the stained glass artist Michael Healy and the artists of An Túr Gloine (Tower of Glass) studio. He has written articles on various aspects of Irish stained glass over the years\, most often for the Irish Arts Review. He is currently preparing a book on Michael Healy while maintaining a ‘Supplementary List of Windows’\, with the assistance of the contributors to the Gazetteer and others\, for any future edition of the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass. \nFree for GSOI members\, €11.09 for Non-Members \nReserve your tickets at https://bit.ly/33wfOp8 \n
