To celebrate our long-standing partnership with the Liverpool Irish Festival, we are delighted to be showcasing a group of Irish makers that have previously exhibited in our window exhibitions for the Festival.
About
Alongside our featured 'In the Window' makers, whose exhibitions were supported by Design & Crafts Council of Ireland, it is also an opportunity for us to highlight the work of our established Irish makers whom we regularly display in the Bluecoat Display Centre.
In addition, we have chosen a selection of emerging and established Northern Irish makers from the ‘Reaction’ exhibition at the Craft NI Gallery in Belfast. The event is a highlight of the much anticipated month-long celebration of craft which takes place across the island of Ireland in August, an exhibition that seeks to celebrate and profile excellence in the NI craft sector.
Makers include:
Jewellery by Alan Ardiff, Berina Kelly, Maureen Lynch, Caitlin Murphy & Celine Traynor
Ceramics by Mike Byrne, Adam Frew, Christy Keeney & Corinne Price
