About Us
Peter Mc Guire was born in Limerick in 1971. After studying architecture
in Bolton Street D.I.T. for one year, he decided to move to the
National College of Art and Design where there would be more chance
of getting stuck into a material and gaining control of it. With
a keen interest in drawing and painting, Peter explored the area
of stained glass as an applicable material.
In the 1990s glass was fast becoming a strong fabric for building
purposes. This was accentuated by a huge increase in the construction
industry in Ireland and technological advancements in the glass
industry. Peter worked for various stained glass firms and sculptors
in Ireland and Itely before establishing a studio of his own for
creation of glass artwork.
Peter has been manipulating glass as an artistic medium to
enhance buildings, both domestic and commercial to emphasise the
need for art work incorporated into building, using it's newest
flexible material: glass.
