Curator's Introduction to An Túr Gloine: Artists and the Collective

Marie Lynch, curator of An Túr Gloine: Artists and the Collective
gives an overview of this new display. This talk is captioned and ISL interpreted.
Founded in 1903 by Sarah Purser, An Túr Gloine’s collective model together with the skills and creativity of its imaginative members set the studio apart from rivals in Ireland and abroad, and advanced the international reputation of Irish stained glass as the foremost achievement of the Irish Arts & Crafts movement. Focusing on the studio’s history, archives and artworks, the exhibition explores An Túr Gloine’s co-operative practice, and the rich variety and individuality of its stained glass designs. Featured artists include Wilhelmina Geddes, Michael Healy, Catherine O’Brien, Alfred E. Child, Hubert McGoldrick, Ethel Rhind and Evie Hone.
Admission is free.
See the exhibition here until 12 January 2025. Admission free.

This content is very interesting.
However, it is a casual and nonchalant approach that could be improved by professional film formatting of artefacts and film editing. Also, the commentator needs to improve diction and pacing.
It would be interesting to have actual "makers as curators" such as stain-glass artists and artisans also commentate on artefacts, as well as academics.
Is it possible to introduce a professional producer for these productions? After all it is the National Gallery.

Fantastic survey of Early 20th century Irish stained glass. Unfortunately the use of aah or aam every fourth word is incredibly distracting. Please listen to yourself and stop the aams.
