ABOUT
Making Conversations Podcast is a project from silversmith Robyn Galway and ceramicist Jemma Millen - both practicing makers and graduates of the applied art department of Ulster University, who both share a love of making and craft.
“Our aim for the podcast is to connect with designer/makers and quite simply; make conversations. We hope our episodes will give a wonderful but truthful insight into the reality of each craft discipline and the daily working practice of makers, as well as shine a light on the locally produced craft that surrounds us.”
Series One launched in August 2019 as part of Craft NI's August Craft Month and focused on five unique conversations held with local makers. The first series also included a bonus Degree Show episode featuring graduates of the Applied Art department at Ulster University.
“For our second series, we are delighted to share that we have been awarded funding from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, as part of their Artist Emergency Programme. This funding means we can bring ten new maker conversations for our second series. We are so excited to bring this glimpse into makers lives within/from NI and beyond.”
For 2021, we have collaborated with the Association for Contemporary Jewellers and Silversmiths Northern Ireland (ACJSNI) to bring three episodes featured around their debut exhibition PINNED. The exhibition has been exhibited at Craft NI Gallery, Belfast and will be exhibited at R-Space, Lisburn as PINNED - On Linen from 7 August until 3 September 2021. Each episode will feature clips of the participating makers, speaking about their work as part of the exhibition. This collaboration has been funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
