Delighted to have had an opportunity to visit the Honan Chapel in UCC Ireland this weekend and explore the exceptional artistry and craft work of Clarke, Purser, Reeves, Stuart, and many others from the Irish Arts & Crafts period and beyond. An extraordinary gem.

How wonderful to see Elizabeth's work (& Hyde's poem) celebrated on this year's Dublin City Council Christmas card. So grateful to all concerned for reconnecting with this Cuala work, which is part of DCLA Reading Room Yeats archive, and for bringing it to a wider public audience.

Our current weather conditions remind us of Elizabeth's colophon at the end of her first book at Dun Emer in 1903: 'In The Seven Woods'. Stay safe, everyone!
