SUMMARY:What Colour is Metal?
DESCRIPTION:Group exhibition considering the relationship between metal and colour in contemporary silversmithing and jewellery\, with a mapping of relationships and practice in key centres internationally. It examines approaches ranging from colour achieved using the inherent properties of metal to react with other chemicals or heat (or a combination); the reveal of colour as a property of the metal itself; infusing the surface of aluminium with pure colour or image; the use of enamel glazes with varying degrees of transparency and opacity – but always with a fundamentally strong relationship with the surface qualities of the metal. \nJane Adam | Peter Bauhuis | Edmond Byrne | Stuart Cairns | Alison Counsell | Rebecca de Quin | Christine Graf | Koji Hatakeyama | Nicola Heidemann | Kaori Juzu | Toru Kaneko | Ruth Laird | Jose Marin | Cecilia Moore | John Moore | Cara Murphy | Thanh-Truc Nguyen | Cóilín Ó Dubhghaill | Michael Rowe | Ryuhei Sako | Simone ten Hompel | Adi Toch | Jessica Turrell | Roxanne Simone | Max Warren \nThe exhibition is scheduled to run October 2021 to February 2022\, the exact dates published here are provisional. \nAccompanied by a series of Meet the Maker online talks in April-May 2021. \nSeries 2 of online talks in October 2021 \n

SUMMARY:'Shuttles & Shafts' Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Craft NI are delighted to present the ‘Shuttles and Shafts’ exhibition\, a visual journey into the archives of one of Northern Ireland’s most prominent linen manufacturers and an insight into the work of the design partnership that have brought some of their classic patterns into the 21st century. \nPreviously suppliers to the Ritz and the White Star Line\,  glass design plates from the Ewart-Lidell Mill in Co. Down\, were donated to Belfast School of Art.  Senior Research Fellow\, Trish Belford and Professor of Design Barbara Dass have preserved\, catalogued and digitised the plates for future generations. \nTheir Heritage Lottery funded project Reviving William Liddell’s Damask Designs preserved a unique collection of 1600 photographic glass plates discovered in 2007 when the Ewart-Liddell linen factory at Donacloney\, Co Down was dismantled. Their initial research was exhibited at Lisburn Museum during the inaugural NI Linen Biennale in 2018\, and the resulting contemporary textiles are now in production at William Clark and Sons of Upperlands.

SUMMARY:Beyond Edges
DESCRIPTION:Joint exhibition by Andrea Spencer\, Nicola Nemec and Sharon Adams. \nBeyond Edges presents the work of three women artists living and working in North Antrim\, an area of open hills and dramatic coastlines perched at the northern edge of Ireland. Each of the three artists responds to the landscape through different materials – glass (Andrea Spencer); paint (Nicola Nemec); wood and metal (Sharon Adams). \nThis self-generated collaboration emerges from their common interest in lines and edges; seen and unseen; natural and manmade. Beyond Edges therefore explores where and how the edges of their practices meet and provides a space for their respective approaches to be explored together. \nVirtual Launch 2pm Friday 15 October via the Roe Valley Arts Centre Facebook Page \nMeet the Artists Event 10am to 1pm Saturday 23 October. Book here \n

SUMMARY:Made in Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Made In Ireland celebrates the wealth and vibrancy of Ireland’s studio crafts. The exhibition presents work by over 110 craftspeople each creating beautiful\, considered objects using skills honed over many years. \nIreland’s makers\, working in and across different sectors\, are creating innovative work of high quality. Makers work in local and carefully sourced materials\, across all regions of our island. Some are household names\, but most work away quietly perfecting their skill and promoting their work regionally. The Irish public has shown itself to have a lively interest in craft\, however\, is largely unaware of the diverse range and quality of work being produced in the country by skilled makers. At a time when many are showing a considerable preference and appreciation for goods that are Irish made\, we can think of no better time to create a colourful\, inclusive exhibition that shows the very best of what is MADE IN IRELAND. \n

SUMMARY:Pinned
DESCRIPTION:Group exhibition from the Association for Contemporary Jewellers and Silversmiths NI (ACJNI). \nPresenting the work of over 20 local jewellers and silversmiths who have each responded to the exhibition’s theme to produce one-of-a-kind pieces beyond the scope of their usual commission or production work. \nThe exhibition features variations on the idea of a brooch\, with versions in both precious and non-precious materials. Traditionally set stones contrast with re-purposed vintage tins and toys\, precision geometry meets abstract forms. Gold\, silver and gemstones sit alongside found objects in unexpected interpretations that demonstrate technical accomplishment\, innovation and creativity.

SUMMARY:Inner Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Ceramicist Anna Smyth presents new work featuring her exquisite crystalline glazes. \nFrom her ceramics studio based in County Down\, Anna creates thrown\, sculptural porcelain vessels\, imbued with meaning\, inspired by observations and reflection on life. Recent themes have included relationship\, heritage and spirituality. \nFollowing completion of the Craft NI ‘Launchpad’ development programme\, Anna’s new work was launched in a group exhibition in the Craft NI Gallery. The porcelain vessels are internally glazed with a selection of crystalline glazes\, developed with support from the Arts Council of NI. These stunning glazes in which crystals form during the firing add a further layer of significance to the work. The forms have developed further to suggest fluidity and movement\, giving wider scope for expression. \nAnna believes that when we engage with items which have been thoughtfully designed and skilfully made by the human hand\, it is a valuable and enriching experience. \nContact Ards Arts Centre to confirm days and times.
