Baby Light my Fire!


 As part of the celebrations marking the journey of the Olympic torch across the north coast of N.Ireland, Flowerfield Arts Centre will host 2 events that celebrate the manipulation of fire in the creation of craft. Admission free!

Saturday 2nd June:
Adam Frew will be firing a wood kiln on the grounds of Flowerfield.  Learn about eastern influenced, high temperature, wood fired ceramics and experience the process first hand!  A group of participants will have the opportunity to make and fire their work in the kiln (sold out), and the public are invited to watch the firing as it progresses.

A unique opportunity to see glass blowing in Northern Ireland! Andrea Spencer, Scott Benefield and Catherine Keenan work, talk and explain the magic of manipulating molten glass.  This 2000-year-old hot craft is brought bang up to date through the creative skill of these artists.  Come and see the action, meet the artists and enjoy the experience.
