SUMMARY:Irish Stained Glass Nearby Lecture Series: Stained Glass: Past\, Present And Future
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Beker joins us for a Stained Glass Nearby Lecture titled “Stained Glass: Past\, Present and Future” \n  \nDuring this upcoming lecture\, Margaret Beker will explore the history of stained glass\, from its 12th century origins to its modern-day applications. She will highlight the work of Evie Hone\, an Irish artist who played a crucial role in the revival of stained glass. Beker will delve into the traditional methods she utilizes to create stained glass\, including painting\, firing\, and composing windows and panels. Additionally\, the lecture will touch on the decline of religious-themed stained glass and the growing trend towards domestic applications. Finally\, Beker will conclude the lecture with a discussion on the future of stained glass\, exploring the potential use of non-traditional methods such as fusing glass.  \nBiography: \nMargaret Beker was born in Dublin\, Ireland\, and received her education at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. She is a skilled stained glass and graphic artist\, often utilizing etchings\, monoprints\, and lithographs to complement her stained glass work. Becker’s stained glass panels can be found in churches and private residences throughout Ireland\, the UK\, Europe\, and the USA. \nFrom 1962 to 1964\, Becker worked at An Túr Gloine. In 1963\, she established a stained glass studio in Dublin alongside Patrick Pye. She later joined the Graphic Studio on Mount Street in 1972 and was the founding member of the Leinster Printmaking Studio in 1998. \nBecker has had solo exhibitions of her work at various galleries\, including Kilkock Art Gallery in Co. Kildare (1993) and Peacock Theatre in Dublin (1981\, 1978). She has also participated in numerous group shows\, including exhibitions at the Graphic Studio Gallery (2010\, 2009\, 2008) and the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin (1996). \nHer impressive work is included in the collection of The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.  \nThis event is free to members and open to non-members. \nReserve your tickets here for : https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/stained-glass-past-present-and-future-tickets-558100663107 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stained Glass Nearby Lecture Series: Murphy-Devitt Studios presented by Reiltín Murphy
DESCRIPTION:An overview of Murphy-Devitt Studios\, Dublin\, whose work spanned 1955-2004 in site specific abstract and figurative glass presented by Reiltín Murphy. \n  \nAs Murphy-Devitt Studios\, Dublin\, this small group of artists and craftsmen produced stained glass from 1958 to 1978. Working together more loosely outside of these dates their work spans from 1955 to 2004. The Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass lists their work under the artists’ names: Johnny Murphy\, Róisín Dowd Murphy and others but in fact the Studio preferred to produce their work as a team and rarely put individual names outside of the Murphy-Devitt Studios date of 1958-1978. \nJohnny Murphy and Dessie (John A) Devitt met at the Harry Clarke Studios in the early 1950s. Johnny was an artist employed by Clarkes as a glass painter and Dessie was a master craftsman. They set up their own studio just in time to catch the church building boom of the 1960s. Murphy-Devitt Studios produced work for most counties in Ireland\, for England\, and abroad. \nJohnny was an innovative designer who produced both figurative and abstract work and who got the very best from the other artists who were employed at the Studio from time to time: as a lecturer in Glass at the National College of Art and Design he chose the most talented students to work in the Studio under his leadership. Please see www.murphydevittstudios.com. \n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nReiltín Murphy is a contributor to the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass having researched the work of Murphy-Devitt Studios with Anthony Devitt: Johnny Murphy and Dessie Devitt were their fathers. Having grown up in the Studio\, Reiltín assisted with many of the windows and designed several in association with Johnny Murphy. Please see www.reiltinmurphy.ie for more about Reiltín. \n  \nFree for GSOI Members\, 11.53 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Stained Glass Nearby Lecture Series: The Sacred and the Secular: the Work of George Walsh presented by Finola Finlay
DESCRIPTION:George Walsh is one of Ireland’s finest contemporary stained glass artists\, represented in the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass by over a hundred windows dating from the 1960s to the present day. George’s father\, George Stephen Walsh\, apprenticed under Harry Clarke\, later moving to Northern Ireland to design for Clokey of Belfast. While there\, George apprenticed under his father\, simultaneously attending the Belfast College of Art. After working in America\, he returned to Ireland to become chief designer for Abbey Stained Glass Studio\, before going out on his own in the late 1970s. \nIn George’s windows the complex glass-leading accommodates an expansive colour palette which reads as bold and primary but in fact ranges over the spectrum with softer hues leavening the strong blues and reds. In his church windows George depicts not just sacred subjects\, but elements addressing a sense of place and time and the everyday lives of the congregation. George has collaborated with several architects to design and decorate new churches\, including the scheme which he executed for the award-winning Holy Family Church in Belfast. \nFinola Finlay\, with her husband Robert Harris\, writes the arts and culture blog Roaringwater Journal (https://roaringwaterjournal.com/). She studies and writes about stained glass for her own blog and for other publications. She is a contributor to the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass. \nRegister for the event on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-sacred-and-the-secular-the-work-of-george-walsh-registration-452967958357 \nFree for GSOI members\, 11.53 for non-members \n

SUMMARY:Dr. Nessa Roche Panel Discussion: Caring for Stained Glass in our Custody
DESCRIPTION:How best can we take care of the stained glass in our custody – Online event with Dr. Nessa Roche\, Colette Langan\, Evan Connon\, Alan Tomlin \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nEvent Information \nHow best can we take care of the stained glass in our custody? \nThe responsibility of care for historical master works in stained glass often falls to individuals\, clergy and caretakers of buildings in which they are housed. How do we best care for them so that we will pass it to future generations in the optimal condition possible? Are new contemporary works any different\, do they need different kinds of care? What are the correct steps to take if the work is damaged\, needs restoration or needs to be protected from the weather? How do you identify if the work is at risk or not? \nOur panel will discuss these issues and more. Chaired by Dr Nessa Roche this expert panel is made up of practitioners in stained glass conservation\, historians and architects. We invite you to join us if you have stained glass in your care\, and wish to know more about its long term care. If this is a subject that interests you or you would like to contribute to the conversation\, please join us! \nBiographies: \nDr Nessa Roche is a Senior Architectural Advisor with the Department of Culture\, Heritage and the Gaeltacht\, with a doctorate in architectural conservation from Heriot-Watt University\, Edinburgh (1999). She has published on Irish architectural history and conservation\, with a speciality in windows and glass. She wrote the Department’s Windows Advice Series booklet (2007)\, project managed the Places of Worship booklet (2010) and was one of the editors of the statutory Architectural Heritage Protection Guidelines (2004). She managed the Department’s review of the operation of Part IV of the Planning and Development Act (published 2016). She also was centrally involved in preparing the National Landscape Strategy (2015). Nessa is currently responsible for developing the new architectural policy and is also working on a strategy for cultural heritage skills development in Ireland and the EU \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. She has turned her attention to the challenge of sustainability in her work practice\, using exploratory techniques with an emphasis on reusing glass.Large scale public stained glass work can be seen in The Loreto Convent\, Rathfarnham\, Dublin\, SS Sebastian and Pancras Church\, Kingsbury\, London\, St Mary’s Church\, Athlone with recent private commissions for clients in Tipperary\, Cork\, Sligo and Dublin Airport. She received the Governing Body Award\, IT Sligo in 2016 and in the same year was shortlisted for RDS Visual Art Award. She was recently granted a residency by CraftHub to represent Ireland in Germany at the famous Glasmalerei Peters Studios in April 2022. \nEvan Connon comes from a long line of stained-glass craftsmen stretching over three centuries. His paternal grandfather Charles Connon (1900 – 1939) worked for Joshua Clarke at the Harry Clarke Studios as a master glass painter and designer. As a teenager Evan was immersed in the stained glass tradition and served a six-year apprenticeship with William Earley of the Earley Studios Dublin. In 2004\, he set up Connon Glass studio in Dublin\, designing and manufacturing both private and public stained-glass windows.\, Their extensive portfolio of stained-glass work in many churches throughout Ireland\, includes contemporary windows and large restoration projects. These include: St Patrick’s cathedral Dublin\, Mary’s Cathedral in Limerick\, Christchurch Cathedral and University Church in Dublin. An extensive restoration of St Kevin’s church in Harrington street Dublin was undertaken by the studios in 2013. The works comprised the removal of five windows to facilitate repairs to the window reveals and stone tracery. \nAlan Tomlin is a second generation Stained glass artist. His father Stanley Tomlin b 1916 worked at the Clarke studios and set up Irish stained glass. Alan is known for designing new stained\, leaded glass and repair/restoration in all styles for churches\, private dwellings\, public and commercial buildings. He also specialises in the highest quality restoration of old or damaged stained glass windows while paying particular attention to the guidelines of the heritage council. In the public domain are windows for Bewleys café on contemporary interpretations of artworks by Pauline Bewick\, Jim Fitzpatrick\, Church of Our Lady of Loreto and St Brigid at Casement Aerodrome. IN recent years he has been working on a 300 piece painted commission for the Irish Air corps. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Flameworkers Discuss the Making and Transporting of the Blaschka Collection
DESCRIPTION:Roger Parramore\, Andrea Spencer & Emma Bourke\, with Paolo Viscardi discussing the making & global transportation of the Blaschka collection \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nPaolo Viscardi is a senior curator at the National Museum of Ireland – Natural History (NMINH). His background is in the natural sciences and museology and he has over 17 years’ professional experience of working with natural history collections in the UK and Ireland. As part of his varied role\, he manages the NMINH collection of Blaschka models of invertebrate animals\, which is one of the largest of its kind in the world. \nRoger Parramore has been working with glass since he was 10 years old. His early experience with a home-built furnace led to formal training as a scientific glassblower\, working with major scientific companies\, national universities and Nasa. Parramore’s current work at the flame\, using hand techniques\, reflect his fascination with the form and romance of traditional Italian glassware. The origins of flameworking in Germany is also a point of interest and has led to extensive explorations of the traditional blown Christmas bauble. \nRoger Parramore’s experience with chemistry and physics led him to a fascination with glassblowing as a process\, and also glass as a material. As a result\, he founded the Parramore Color Company which manufactures colored glasses for borosilicate lampworking. He lives and works in North Carolina \nAndrea Spencer graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1993 with a BA (Hons) in Architectural Glass. Her small-scale sculpture and site-specific installations are concept driven\, exploring natural forms to create artworks that carry a personal narrative. \nSpencer maintains an emphasis on the unique properties of glass\, exploiting the qualities of transparency\, fragility and fluidity intrinsic to the material and employs techniques to encapsulate\, contain and protect\, alongside elements to define\, brace\, bridge and support. \nAndrea’s work is held in significant public and private collections\, has been exhibited in the UK\, Europe\, USA and China and since 2008 has regularly featured in the British Glass Biennale. Her work has been included in the Corning Museum of Glass’ annual New Glass Review (2010). In 2017 she received the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Artist Career Enhancement Scheme Award. Residencies include artist-in-residence at North Lands Creative Glass (Scotland). Teaching includes national and international glass schools such as Pilchuck Glass School (USA) Bildwerk (Germany) and The Royal College of Art. \nEmma Bourke graduated from NCAD with BA(Hons) in Craft Design Glass in 2009. She went on to achieve a Masters in Fine Art from the University of Sunderland in 2013. Emma has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally including; Portfolio at the Coach House in Dublin Castle\, IRL\, The Ireland Newfoundland Trail\, NL Crafts Council Gallery\, NL\, Sociolect at The Biscuit Factory\, UK. \nEmma Bourke’s studio is a sea of tiny\, colourful leaves\, petals and other plant parts. While researching the famous glassmakers Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka\, Emma discovered they built their scientific models in sections. This how she now works\, painstakingly creating hundreds of miniature components before assembling them into a finished piece. Her work speaks of folklore and cultural identity\, exploring the concept of biophilia: the innate human tendency to seek connections with nature. \nEvent Information \nThis event is intended as an open forum discussion panel. Contemporary flameworkers will discuss the Blaschka collection in terms of today’s world\, and look at what we can learn from what we know of their methods to compare our work practices today. The Blaschkas were a father and son team of Dresden-based lampworkers\, who created exquisite models of marine invertebrates between 1864 and 1890. These models were sold by mail order to museums and universities all over the world\, relying on boats and railways for their distribution. The models were based on illustrations in scientific publications\, and the methods used to transform these 2D images into lifelike 3D models evolved over time. Here we discuss some of the materials and methods used by the Blaschkas to both create and distribute their delicate models. We also consider the implications of this to the ongoing care and conservation of the large collection housed in the historic exhibition building of the National Museum of Ireland – Natural History. \n

SUMMARY:Glint Glass Studio: Circular Economy Reusing Glass Materials
DESCRIPTION:Glint glass studio is a social enterprise that uses waste glass as a primary material for production and education. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Information \nGlint Glass studio is creating something new while making use of waste. Looking to expand the glass community by educating and providing experiences to people who want to learn about glassmaking\, the glass school started by offering a variety of glassmaking classes for complete beginners. A simple glass became the cornerstone of the project. Through making a basic beaker\, many skills can be learnt. \nAlongside classes\, Glint makes a range of glassware to suit the contemporary home that is conscious of the environment and their community. Their range of glasses that are versatile for use from morning to evening are sold online and through craft shops nationwide. Made from waste material\, gathered locally\, they are remade into a usable or saleable objects using new found skills. The production of an object brings many processes that affect the environment. The designer\, but also the producer\, must take responsibility for the object created. A responsibility that involves not only the production phases\, but also how that product will be marketed\, shipped\, how long and how it will be used and\, very importantly\, disposed of. Each of these phases must be designed to minimise the impact on the planet. \nTheir need to be conscious of the environment and their impact on climate change is the baseline for their design choices. Sustainability of practice as well as of material is fundamental to their business. As a circular economy project\, reclaiming waste materials\, introducing new skills\, building awareness of their waste\, can be part of changing the global climate picture. \nBiographies \nRóisín de Buitléar is an artist and educator. She has been working in glass since 1983 drawing her inspiration from her cultural heritage. With a diverse practice spanning architecture\, sculpture\, design and site-specific installations\, her work can be seen in public and private buildings throughout Ireland. Her artwork is represented in national collections in Ireland\, Northern Ireland\, Britain\, Japan\, China and USA. Large scale installations and temporary projects working with the environment and local communities are an important element of her practice. \nSinéad Brennan is an Irish glass artist and art educator. She graduated from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin in 2012 with a BA (Hons) in Art and Design History and Craft Design and went on to receive a Professional Diploma in Art and Design Education from NCAD in 2014. Sinéad serves as Education Officer on the Board of the Glass Society of Ireland and is Co-founder of Glint Glass Studio. \n

SUMMARY:Fiacre O'Donnell: Tackling the Challenges of Glass Recycling
DESCRIPTION:Part of our 2022 Summer Glass Festival \n\nTackling the challenges of fuel\, emissions and transportation in recycling glass \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Information \nIn the glass industry we think of glass in 3 areas. Best for health\, taste and environment. Whilst the first 2 ‘bests’ are without contention\, glass being an inert product doesn’t release anything into the product or react to anything from the product\, thus preserving the taste of the product and the health aspect of the consumer\, the environment section is a challenge. Although 100% recyclable\, glass does have to focus on emissions from the fuels we use in furnaces\, the emissions from raw materials and the transportation challenges of moving a product heavier than all its rival packaging products. Vidrala Group are tackling these projects head on and with the recent acceptance of the SBTi 1.5o are making a public statement of intent on the environment. \nBiography \nFiacre O’Donnell is Sustainability Director at Encirc Bottle Manufacturing\, Northern Ireland. \nFiacre joined Encirc 1998. Having held various roles in planning\, sales\, marketing and sustainability\, he was appointed Sustainability Director of Encirc’s Spanish based parent company\, Vidrala in 2020. \nAn MBA graduate from the Ulster Business school and an alumni of the Timoney Institute\, he is a former winner of the Drink Business ‘Green personality of the year’ for the work undertaken to decarbonise the UK beverage industry. He is a member of the BITC NI environmental leadership team and BITC climate champions team\, and is a member of the NI CoC Infrastructure committee and Council.

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: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
