SUMMARY:'Make your own jam jar diorama' workshop with Sue Cathcart
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Make your own jam jar diorama’ workshop is one of the supporting events for the ‘Paper Magic’ exhibition\, currently on at Craft NI Gallery until October 29th. \nCome along to this convivial workshop with Sue Cathcart and learn how to make a jam jar diorama! Sue will bring along her humorous Mr Papers character and lots of other paper ephemera. Participants can bring their own photos to make this more personal.  \nExpect lots of laughter as the irreverent Mr Papers takes over: ‘All you need is a mayonnaise jar or any other large jar.  We will construct a tiny scene from paper inside the jar and add in Mr Papers or a friend or relation.  Please bring any pictures or photos you would like to include.  Can I just also say this is NOT a snow globe!  There is no snow!  It is a special heritage item and will be treasured by your family and friends\, it had better be or there will  be trouble!’ \nBookings: please contact Sue Cathcart at the following email: SueCathcart3@hotmail.com .

SUMMARY:Ceramic Figurative Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:The Great Pottery Throwdown finalist\, Anna McGurn\, will guide you in the creation of sculptural figures\, essentially taking a lump of clay and turning it into something with character and personality. Anna’s figures seem to take on their own temperament\, she can show individuality in a stance; superiority in a look; charm in a smile\, always original and sometimes eccentric. \nThe workshop will begin with the making of simple shapes to create body parts\, moving on to assembling\, refining and then adding detail\, prior to using underglaze to decorate. Different techniques will be demonstrated and you can choose these as you create your own individual sculpture. \nThe workshop is suitable for beginners and those with experience. Works will be fired for collection at a later date. Please bring a packed lunch/refreshments.

SUMMARY:Beyond Edges
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition of paintings\, glass artefacts\, and sculptures crafted in wood and metal by Andrea Spencer\, Nicola Nemec\, and Sharon Adams. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nAn elegant and thought-provoking exhibition in which three woman artists investigate\, interrogate and interpret their immediate locale and shared hinterland of open hills and dramatic coastlines in North Antrim. \nAll three artists respond to the physicality of the land\, the impact of man’s intervention on its topography and the effects of changing atmospheric conditions\, but they also evoke an essence of place with works that reflect their individual connection to landscape\, one tempered by memory\, emotional and personal experience\, and the potential and constraints of their artistic practice. \nLight permeates the work of all three artists – Adams employs it to ‘draw’ shadows from her coiled\, sprung sculptures; Nemec’s paintings emulate the way light diffuses through the landscape creating ambiguous space and scale and Andrea Spencer exploits the qualities of light as it passes through her elegant glassworks of natural forms. \nThe collaboration was first exhibited at Roe Valley Arts Centre in 2021\, and includes an accompanying text by Amanda Croft. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaunch 7pm-9pm Thursday 8th September at  the Georgian Gallery\, Ards Arts Centre. \nThe Exhibition will run from Thursday 8th September to Saturday 22nd October. \n

SUMMARY:Adornment (Re-use and Re-imagine)
DESCRIPTION:The ACJSNI Re-Use + Re-Imagine Adornment Project is a collaborative venture between artist / makers related to the linen heritage of R-Space Gallery. The project highlights the distinct characteristics of 3-Dimensional research in Silversmith\, Jewellery and Textile Art practices. The three craft areas see frequent overlaps in scale\, materials\, and methods of construction which\, when combined\, create potential for dynamic statements that push beyond traditional boundaries. \nThe artists present work that has explored a cross-over of sensitivities towards the human experience of making\, and developed their specialisms creating unexpected synergies and directions\, in materials and narratives. The diversity of approaches has been documented throughout the project spanning June and July. The visuals\, videos and recordings of processes will form part of the Exhibition supporting the finished pieces and providing contexts that enrich understanding. \nArtist talks will take place in the gallery on 20th August and 3rd September. \nACJSNI will be running a Lace-making workshop with National & International award winning lace designer and maker Theresa Kelly in the gallery on 27th August. \nTitle: Carrickmacross Lace Workshop – 3D Carrickmacross Lace Flax Flower. \n  \nPlease note: the exhibition is open Tuesday – Saturday.
