Stained Glass Window Project: Beginning

First year students from Bremore Educate Together Secondary School Balbriggan worked with glass artist Emer O’Donnell to develop a collaborative work in stained glass which will be installed in our new school building to celebrate and commemorate our inaugural school community. Based on a theme of ‘Beginning’ Emer encouraged the students to develop visual responses and finally come up with a design that could include personal contributions from each student.
