SUMMARY:'Makers Who Teach: ME. HERE. NOW.'
DESCRIPTION:Building on the success of the first ‘Makers Who Teach’ exhibition which took place in 2023\, Craft NI are pleased to invite you to the 2025 edition of this unique event. This year’s theme\,  ME. HERE. NOW. highlights the creative practices of makers who teach others as part of their overall practice\, whether it’s in classrooms\, workshops and communities. \nThe show focuses on their current creative endeavours and it shines a spotlight on their recent works\, ensuring they are seen and appreciated not only as teachers\, but also as makers. As they balance teaching and making\, with the demands each makes on the other\, these talented makers are ready to share with the public their private artistic practice\, influences and inspiration. Whether it is textile art\, jewellery\, glass\, ceramics or interdisciplinary installations\, this exhibition offers a rare glimpse into these makers’ private inner world – and the creativity it contains. \n  \nExhibiting makers: Aisling Higgins\, Alison Gault\, Andrea Hayes\, Carol Wiley\, Clare Bowe\, Heather Burgess\, Helen Hancock\, Jonathan Williams\, Justine Bonenfant\, Louisa McCartney\, Maggie Napier\, Natasha Duddy\, Nichola Dalton\, Patrick Colhoun\, Ruzica Ruane\, Sandra Kerr\, Scott Benefield\, Shauna McCann\, Theresa Kelly\, Tracey Johnston.

SUMMARY:Corinne Price Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:Stop by and get to know the work of Belfast based ceramicist Corinne Price! The trunk show features Corinne’s brand-new collection of work which celebrates all that is fresh and fragrant this season. Inspired by foliage and flowers\, the collection showcases several distinct ranges which converse with one another. The nerikomi vessels are hand-built using slices of clay\, usually patterned\, and have a sharp\, crisp quality to the design which contrasts with their asymmetrical forms. The wheel-thrown neriage vessels\, on the other hand\, record the swirling movement of their creation in the fluid striations of their swirls\, contrasting with their symmetry. Many iterations between the two have arisen\, and visitors will be able to see the results around the gallery.

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.
