Medieval Stained Glass- The Original Social Media. Glass Society of Ireland

The Glass Society of Ireland is made up of people whose interests or professions significantly relate to the specific material of glass.  Drawing from diverse creative and enterprising fields including art, design, craft, research, collecting and the historical context, we are a volunteer-run organisation whose interest in glass provides us with a mutual cause for conversation.It is the primary objective of the Glass Society of Ireland to continue to support established practitioners in Glass whilst fostering new talent. We also aim to create opportunities to communicate with each other and to engage with new audiences. This is achieved through a number of platforms: exhibition-making, holding events such as conferences, workshops and public talks, networking through social media and information distribution through our website, blog and monthly e-bulletin. Through these activities, professional connections are established both nationally and internationally.

Medieval stained glass - the original social media?​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.Colette 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.
