Túr Gloine, An

Irish stained-glass studio set up by Sarah Purser (1848–1943) in Dublin in 1903, that operated until 1944. Its stained glass can be found all over the world.

Artists from the studio produced windows for the two most important new church buildings at the time, Loughrea Cathedral, County Galway (1901), and the 1915 Honan College Chapel, Cork, among their many commissions, both religious and secular. Michael Healy (1873–1941) was the first artist to join the studio, and his early work, inspired by Renaissance painting, evolved into a more richly textured style, as he experimented with acid etching. Another notable studio member was Wilhelmina Geddes (1887–1955), whose strong, bold expressionist windows have parallels in her powerful illustration work. She continued to produce windows after her departure from An Túr Gloine in 1922.

Irish painter Evie Hone was the last to join the studio, in 1935, and her devout, medieval-inspired glass is well known. Having made its mark on the international glass scene, the studio closed in 1944, the year after Purser's death.
