Join Chester Cathedral and partners for a Symposium inspired by the Trena Cox: Reflections 100 exhibition, running from 7 October-8 November.
Using the life and legacy of Trena Cox as the focal point, attendees will hear from a variety of respected speakers from across the stained glass, heritage conservation, and art sectors. This evening keynote will conclude the day, looking at the past and future of women in stained glass.
Keynote: Trena Cox in Context: Women in stained glass in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Martin Crampin
Martin is a Research Fellow at the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, Aberystwyth and has been researching ecclesiastical art for around twenty years. Much of his research has been on stained glass in Wales: his online catalogue, ‘Stained Glass in Wales’, was launched in 2011 and continues to grow. He has written on stained glass of all periods and his books include Stained Glass from Welsh Churches (2014) and Welsh Saints from Welsh Churches (2023). Martin trained as a visual artist and makes images based on medieval decorative patterns, also working as a designer and photographer specialising in publications on the stained glass of individual churches.
Ticket includes admission to drinks reception starting at 7pm.
