Opening of Omniplex Antrim

Was at the opening of the new Omniplex cinema in Antrim last night. Great fun and thank you to Carole for showing Tom and myself round on Thursday afternoon. Went to see Limitless. Just wish my brain could work at that memory level

Glenarm Castle Walled Garden Tearoom & Gift Shop

Had a lovely drive along the A2 North Antrim coastal road to Glenarm on Thursday to drop off some jewellery to the Castle's walled garden and tea rooms which has started stocking my jewellery. Opens this weekend & has a lovely tulip festival next weekend. Here's a sneak preview of some of the fantastic flowers that will be on display.

This Is One Sandcastle




I'm loving this. It's a reconstruction on the Giants Causeway for charity in Victoria Square, Belfast.

Busy Week

I've had a busy week this week making some Logo Coasters for a client as well as trying to put together a group proposal for SpaceCraft in Belfast.



At time it's felt like I'm being watched



I love the image that the stack of coasters give to this logo. It would make a great award if fused together and polished with some text. Something to work on I think

Pia Raeymaekers Exhibition More Photo's


Phase 1

Phase 2

Opening of Pia Raeymaekers Exhibition

I went along to the opening of Pia Raeymaekers exhibition at Craft NI this evening to look at her work.

Pia's work has been influenced by the environment around where she is living an working along the North Antrim coast of Northern Ireland and focuses on marine life like sea urchins and ammonites that can be found in the rocks around the beaches and cliffs.

She works mainly with cast glass but has started to experiment with porcelain & earthenware which marry well with skills she has made, mould making for casting glass and as you can see below complement each other.

Well done Pia on a excellent show
