The full set of eight panels will be on display for the final two weeks., as part of a community celebration of the great works of Harry Clarke installed in the chapel.

Ben’s comments on the project and the Harry Clarke windows:

This has been a fantastic journey of discovery for me and a wonderful way to share the love I have for Harry Clarke’s unrivalled works here in Dingle. I call him the Michelangelo of stained glass. For surely, he is a true Master who stands tall as one of Irelands finest creative artists of all time.

The ‘Let the Light In’ exhibition opened on Tuesday, August 6 in An Díseart and runs until August 31.

 An Diseart building is open to the public each week from Monday – Friday 11am to 4pm, closed during lunch time from 1pm to 2pm.  The gardens are open daily until 7:30 pm in the summer, they close earlier in the winter.
