Initially a painter, Hone became a pioneering figure in modern Irish stained glass, helping to shape the distinctive character of the medium in the early 20th century. Living and working at Marlay, Hone transformed her studio into a vibrant centre of artistic production. Her contribution, alongside artists such as Harry Clarke and Michael Healy, played a key role in establishing Ireland\u2019s reputation for stained glass. By focusing on Evie Hone\u2019s legacy in Marlay, the project encourages meaningful engagement with local artistic heritage and supports the continuation of traditional craft skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":42420,"template":"","class_list":["post-42419","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
