Craft NI and the Crafts Council of Ireland have designated 2011 as Year of Craft. The joint initiative features a comprehensive programme of workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations and activities to showcase the very best of craft made on the island of Ireland. All Year of Craft 2011 events in Northern Ireland will be listed on Craft NI’s website starting in this month, January 2011. Among Craft NI’s planned activities includes its annual August Craft Month programme taking place from 28 July – 30 August 2011. Craft NI’s newly-developed Craft Map of studios, workshops and other craft venues will also feature in the programme. The online map enables visitors to plan and develop their own craft trails and activity itineraries. Other highlights of Year of Craft include the Annual General Assembly of the World Crafts Council - Europe, at Dublin Castle in June. As part of the conference, a public event will be held with the acclaimed British ceramicist Edmund De Waal. Craft NI will be inviting event submissions from early in the New Year.
