Orla received a first-class MA in Stained Glass Conservation and Heritage Management at the University of York in 2023. Her focus was on lead research, public reception, and writing on the acid etching techniques of Irish artist Harry Clarke, for which she was also awarded the Nicholas Barker Dissertation Prize. Previously to this, she was awarded a first-class BA in Ancient History & Archaeology and English Literature from Trinity College Dublin.
Since January 2025 she has been working as a conservation assistant, (fledgeling!) glass designer, and social media manager for Rainbow Glass Studios in Scotland. This has fostered a great appreciation for new work as well as conservation and huge excitement to get more involved with ICON.
