DescriptionMcGoldrick began his career at Ireland’s largest
stained glass firm, Earley & Co. During his
apprenticeship at Earley’s, he continued to
attend A.E. Child’s stained glass lessons at the
Metropolitan School of Art. He was invited to
join An Túr Gloine in 1920, at a time when the
studio was undertaking a large number of war
memorial commissions. At An Túr Gloine, he
refined the elaborate style and vivid colours of
Earley’s to arrive at his own elegantly modern
aesthetic.
