SUMMARY:Paolo Viscardi: Moving the Blaschka Collection - Natural History Museum
DESCRIPTION:Part of our 2022 Summer Glass Festival \n\nMoving of the Blaschka Collection at the Natural History Museum \n\n\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. \nEvent Information \nThe 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:Walking Tour St. Kevin's Church\, Harrington Street\, Dublin with Evan Connon
DESCRIPTION:Walking Tour – St. Kevin’s Church\, Harrington Street Dublin finishing at the old premises of the Earley Company on 1 Camden Street\, Dublin 8 \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Information \nThe stained glass windows of St Kevin’s church in Harrington Street Dublin are unique in the fact that they track the history of Earley and Company from (1861–1975) to the present day. The firm was one of the largest and most prestigious ecclesiastical decorators both in Ireland and the U.K \nStarting with windows by Hardman Company\, Thomas Earley a glass painter under Pugin can be seen. When Thomas formed the Earley and Powell company in 1864 on nearby Camden street more windows were added. In 1903 the largest grisaille stained glass window in Ireland was installed. Since then generations of the Earley family have been involved in the maintenance and design of windows for the church\, culminating in William Earley creating a window for the south transept. Evan Connon\, an apprentice of Willie Earley\, will bring insights and history to this guided walk through history\, from the early days of Hardman company to his own current practice and extensive restoration of these historic windows. The walk will end in the old premises of the Earley company on 1 Camden street which has been converted to Witherspoon’s pub\, where the original circular window remains. \nBiography \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. \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:Studio Pei Pei: From the Ashes - A Glass for Next Generations
DESCRIPTION:Benedikt Peirotén: What is glass actually made of? Where do the ingredients come from and what does that mean?\n \n\n\n\n\n\nGlass is never sustainable. A well-functioning recycling cycle is not enough. The problems that start even before production are dramatic and invisible at the same time. “from the ashes” is a first glass looking for new solutions. By using local\, gastronomic waste from renewable raw materials. This solves several problems at once and is still only the beginning. \nIn this talk we look behind the scenes and discuss the material itself. \nBy Benedikt Peirotén\, founder of Studio Pei Pei

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: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

SUMMARY:GSOI Think Tank
DESCRIPTION:2022 is the International Year of Glass\, and there are going to be many glassy events centered around glass practices throughout the year. \nThe GSOI board has decided to adopt the theme of Climate Change as our national theme for IYOG2022. \nCome and join us for a brainstorming session – the GSOI Think Tank – as we begin to tackle and explore the theme of Climate Change in relation to glass. \nDuring this ‘Think Tank’ event we hope to open the conversation around glass making\, the climate and our individual and collective glass practices. We will use ideas and conversations generated in the ‘Think Tank’ to develop future events throughout 2022. \nSo join together with your fellow glass makers and let’s make the changes together.\nWe would love to see you there\, don’t worry if it is just to listen and learn more\, we won’t be putting anyone on the spot. \nThe zoom link was shared in the last newsletter\, so don’t forget to check your email spam folder if you missed it! Can’t find it? Send us a message and we’ll re-share it with you.
