In 1946 she opened a weaving workshop, taking private pupils from the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin, until she was eventually invited to create a department of textiles at the school in 1951.

In her will she bequeathed an amount of money to be used to fund the annual Golden Fleece Awards, a prize which recognizes those artists working in the areas of traditional art forms.
