Stained Glass windows in churches are familiar to most of us, when we start to look closer we realise and understand the special skills and the beauty of this artform.
Until the early 20th Century when a distinctive Irish stained glass revival emerged through a handful of artists working in this demanding medium, the history of stained glass in Ireland was strongly influenced by craftsmen from outside the country. Edward Martyn was a driving force in that revival and St Brendan’s Cathedral in Loughrea became a showcase.
On our tour we will visit various Celtic Revival sites including Ballinasloe and Loughrea and find out interesting details of the history and the art of stained glass.
Andrea, your guide and chauffeur for the day, works with stained glass herself and will give you a deep insight into the design and execution of a stained glass window.
Our tour will include a stop for a lovely lunch and if time permits a walk on the shores of Lough Rea.
For guests looking for some hands-on experience a visit to Andrea’s studio in South Co Galway can be arranged for another day. For first impressions have a look at www.caimileon.com

Great Photo Locations
Taking photos has become so easy, we will make sure to stop at the best locations so that you can bring back amazing photos, share them and keep them as a memory of a special trip. For our SONAS Tours we suggest switching off your devices and spend some time 'offline' to be free to experience your surroundings.
Supporting Trees
Sustainable tourism is important to us. One measure to make a difference for climate change is to plant trees. 10 % of our proceeds are going towards native trees being planted in Ireland.

We really liked Andrea as a tour guide and as a person. She has immense knowledge, a lot of life experience, you can have great conversations with her. She recognizes the interests of each group member and caters specifically to them. She has a natural friendliness and willingness to help without bending over backwards. I would like to have her show me other areas of Ireland.
