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: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:The Gift - as Heirloom
DESCRIPTION:A Gift has the potential to cause change\, create bonds within families and communities.  \n  \nCraft NI and the Association for Contemporary Jewellery & Silversmiths NI welcome you to The Gift – as Heirloom\, a contemporary jewellery exhibition which promises to awe the viewer with a rich tapestry of techniques\, materials and concepts\, making this Christmas Jewellery Selling Show a must-visit over the coming weeks.  \n  \nCRAFT NI are delighted to welcome ACJ NI to Craft NI Gallery for a second Christmas jewellery selling show. ACJNI will bring the most accomplished new work from nine of their members and associates who are practising contemporary jewellers in Northern Ireland. This year the selected makers will create neckpieces and earrings in response to the title of The Gift inspired by Lewis Hyde’s book of the same title. \nJewellery has a strong association with being gifted\, usually as an act of love\, devotion\, or a memento to mark an occasion. It carries deep personal stories and powerful narratives that connect us through generations and time – an heirloom. \nThe Gift is an exhibition that will represent the richness of approaches and a diversity of materials\, skilfully combined to create meaningful stories about our culture and values. It is also an opportunity to see and purchase the work of our best contemporary designer makers brought together at the CRAFT NI Gallery. \nParticipating jewellers are Anne Earls Boylan\, Jill Graham\, Cameron & Breen\, Clodagh Molloy\, Lotus de Wit\, Fiona Kerr\, Camilla Prey\, Eddie Doherty and Celine Traynor.  \n
