Flowerfield Arts Centre in Portstewart is taking part in August Craft Month, an annual celebration delivered in partnership by the Design & Crafts Council and Craft NI.

The centre has organised a programme of hands-on workshops for adults, offering sessions in glass, ceramics, pottery and basketry. Each workshop is led by an experienced tutor and allows participants to create a handmade piece to take home.

Workshops inspired by the coastal landscape include ceramic hand-building to create a mirror frame decorated with shells, waves, pebbles and marine life, and layered glass techniques to produce artwork with depth and movement.

Ceramic tutor Fiona Shannon will lead a four-day intensive throwing course, covering centring clay, shaping forms and making vessels on the potter's wheel.

The programme concludes with a full-day gathering basket masterclass taught by master crafter Louise McLean of Atlantic Craft NI. Participants will learn traditional basket-making processes and techniques while constructing a functional basket.

The workshops run throughout August. Further information and booking details are available on the Flowerfield Arts Centre website.
