SUMMARY:'Imprints in the Earth'
DESCRIPTION:In this joint exhibition\, 11 artists respond to the theme of ‘Imprints in the Earth: Shaping Place through Clay’. The works explore connections between landscape\, heritage\, and the art of clay. The exhibition invites viewers on a journey through the Northern Ireland landscapes where clay becomes both a canvas and a storyteller. \n‘Imprints in the Earth’ explores how the natural world shapes human experience and how ceramics\, in turn\, becomes a medium to capture those impressions. Each piece embodies the textures\, rhythms\, and stories of this place\, reflecting its tides\, its soils\, and its human connection. \nThe artists taking part are: Anna Donavan\, Alison Hanvey\, Tracey McCoey\, Brenda Morgan\, Eleanor Wheeler\, Patricia Millar\, Jacki Trainor\, Joanne Gault\, Donna Boyle\, Anna Smyth\, Tracey Johnston. \nThe exhibition is on in the Graffan Gallery; free admission.

SUMMARY:Cameron & Breen Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:Come along and see Cameron & Breen’s full selection of handcrafted jewellery in their upcoming trunk show at Craft NI Gallery\, Belfast! \nMartin Cameron and Laura Breen are renowned for their contemporary exploration into ancient jewellery design\, having won awards from The Worshipful Company Of Goldsmiths and with noteworthy commissions under their belt such as presenting their ‘Ancient Treasure’ Brooch to Princess Anne Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal in 2021. \nCaptivating hordes of gold jewellery found in museums influence the forms and materials in Martin and Laura’s jewellery collections. Recycled gold is cast from wax that has been carved and manipulated by hand\, displaying the beautiful marks of traditional handmade design and the ancient technique of lost wax casting. Stone carvings adorned with rhythmical patterns and curious figures inspire their playful hand engraved motifs. Martin and Laura hand select emeralds\, sapphires\, mandarin garnets\, diamonds and rock crystals to skilfully set in each individual piece. \nIf you have longed to try on some of their pieces after intensive social media searches\, have a bespoke commission in mind such as an engagement ring\, a wedding ring or anniversary gift\, or are interested to remodel heirloom pieces\, stop by for a chat in the Gallery.  Martin and Laura welcome bespoke enquiries\, and we can arrange Saturday appointments with the makers.

SUMMARY:Belfast School of Art: Product\, Ceramics\, Silversmithing & Jewellery Degree Show 2025
DESCRIPTION:The BDes (Hons) Design (Product\, Ceramics\, Silversmithing & Jewellery) Degree Show celebrates the work of graduating students from the Product Design\, Ceramic Design\, Silversmithing & Jewellery pathways at Belfast School of Art. This exhibition brings together a diverse collection of outcomes\, reflecting a strong culture of innovation\, material exploration and critical design thinking. \nAcross the pathways\, students have developed innovative responses to contemporary issues\, producing objects that are conceptually rich and materially grounded. The work on display encompasses product design\, furniture\, lighting\, ceramic design\, jewellery and metalwork\, demonstrating a deep engagement with process\, form and function. \nRooted in making\, the exhibition highlights how ideas are shaped through hands-on experimentation and refined through technical skill. From speculative designs to functional artefacts\, each piece reveals a personal approach to design and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of their chosen medium. \nThe degree show offers a glimpse into the future of design\, where tradition meets experimentation\, and where making remains central to innovation. \n  \nOpening Night: \nFriday 6th June 2025\, 6pm to 9pm \nLocation: BB-04\, Belfast School of Art \nExhibition Continues: \nSaturday 7th June to Saturday 21st June 2025 \nOpen daily (excluding Sundays) from 10am to 5pm \nFinal Day: Saturday 21st June 2025\, closing at 2pm
