To celebrate Bluecoat Display Centre’s long-standing partnership with the Liverpool Irish Festival, alongside wood In the Window by Michael Murphy, they are delighted to be showcasing a group of Irish makers that have previously exhibited in our window exhibitions for the Festival, supported then by Design & Crafts Council of Ireland.
It is also an opportunity for them to highlight the work of their established Irish makers whom we regularly display in the gallery.
In addition, they 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
Glass by Scott Benefield
Wood by Kathleen Walsh
Mixed Media by Sarah Cathers
Woven textile vessels by Joanne Lamb
Paintings by Clement McAleer
