Having initially established a reputation as a painter in oils and gouaches, in 1933 Evie Hone started to experiment in the medium of stained glass. It is for her work in this field that she is best known and with Harry Clarke and Michael Healy is recognised as the leading Irish artists in this field.
Evie entered An Túr Gloine and remained there until the co-operative was dissolved following the death of Sarah Purser in 1944. As she was living in the Dower House in the courtyard of Marlay, Evie was able to set up her own studio in Marlay House.
Evie Hone died in March 1955 on her way to mass in Rathfarnham so our talk marks the 70th anniversary of her passing and takes place in the room next door to her studio in Marlay House.
