THE GIFT, Craft NI Gallery’s Christmas selling exhibition, will showcase thoughtfully-designed and beautifully-crafted works that highlight the concept of considered gifting, as well as showing the gifts and dedication of designer-makers, reflecting their mastery of material and unique design.  These contemporary works, functional or decorative, will be objects made to be cherished and given with intention. Visitors can expect to see  unique creations, whether it is jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass, wood, jewellery and mixed media.

The exhibition will refresh the concept of festive gifting with unique, handcrafted gift ideas that celebrate and support talented makers, thoughtful gift givers and cherished receivers in equal measure.

Participating makers: Andrea Hayes, Andrea Spencer, Anne Earls Boylan, Claire Hart, Egle Banyte, Gail Kelly, Hugh Cummins, Jakki Trainor, James Gilbert, Janice Gilmore, Joanna Komorowska, Joel Smyth, Patricia Kelly, Sue Cathcart, Ursula McGivern.
