SUMMARY:'Made in Ireland' Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Armagh City\, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council are delighted to present Made In Ireland. A celebration of the wealth and vibrancy of Ireland’s studio crafts\, the exhibition presents work by over 110 craftspeople from 27 counties\, each creating beautiful\, considered objects using skills honed over many years. Supported by Design & Crafts Council Ireland and  managed by the creative team of Hilary Morley\, Stephen O’Connell and Mary Gallagher\, Made In Ireland comes to the F.E. McWilliam Gallery after successful runs at the National Design & Craft Gallery in Kilkenny and Farmleigh Gallery\, Dublin. \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\, some work away quietly perfecting their skill and promoting their work locally and regionally. The Irish public has shown itself to have a lively interest in craft\, however\, they are largely unaware of the diverse range and quality of work being produced in the country by skilled makers. \nSelected after an open call\, Made In Ireland showcases the skill of potters\, glassmakers\, textile artists\, woodturners\, basket makers\, gold and silversmiths\, metalsmiths and furniture makers. Exhibitors include makers of international renown as well as young\, emerging artists and those who have practised quietly in areas of the country such as Clare Island\, West Cork and the North Antrim Coast.  Some are members of Design & Crafts Council Ireland’s Portfolio Critical Selection\, while others are makers who practise away from the spotlight and national attention. \nAt a time when many people 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.
