Future Exhibitions

 ‘Under Construction’

Derek Wilson uses the Gallery as a project space to contemplate the dialogue and interaction between his current research project into collage and painting, and its later translation into three-dimensional sculptural objects.

As a recent recipient of the Rosemary James Memorial Trust Award, Derek’s ‘Under Construction’ ’exhibition at Craft NI Gallery gives insight into his research and creative practice, by showcasing the development of these new ideas, and responding to the themes that are prevalent within: composition and spatiality, structure and balance, tone and colour, line and form. 

 Dates: October 2 – October 31, 2025

This winter, Craft NI Gallery’s Christmas exhibition will refresh the concept of festive gifting with unique, handcrafted gift ideas that celebrate and support talented makers, thoughtful gift givers and cherished receivers in equal measure.

Visitors can expect beautifully-crafted works that highlight the concept of considered gifting, as well as showing the gifts and dedication of designer-makers, reflecting their mastery of material and unique design.  These contemporary works, functional or decorative, will be objects made to be cherished and given with intention.

Dates: November 6, 2025  – January 31, 2026
