There’s something special about reaching for a handmade piece every day.

Our collection of ceramics by Alison Hanvey brings together beautiful functional ware in soft, coastal-inspired tones that feel right at home in any space. From mugs and bowls to serving pieces and everyday essentials, the range offers plenty of ways to start—or grow—your collection over time.

Each piece is handmade, designed to be used and enjoyed daily, bringing a little moment of joy to your morning coffee, family meals, or quiet evening rituals. The beauty of collecting functional ceramics is that your collection can evolve with you, adding new favourites along the way.

Visit Craft NI Gallery or over on our website to discover Alison’s collection and find the piece that speaks to you.

Hard to buy for? Trusts us we know! 😉

Dads might have everything they need, but a small ‘thank you for everything you do’ won’t go unnoticed…

It’s Father’s Day this weekend – if celebrating, stop by the Gallery for a unique handcrafted gift. A new mug, a handmade card or a scarf to wear on those chilly beach walks might be just the thing!

You may have spotted striking large Moon Jars in the gallery — and we’re delighted to now have these beautiful smaller vessels available too!

‘The Narrows’ stoneware vase collection is inspired by the dramatic meeting point of the Irish Sea and Strangford Lough, where tidal energy and movement shape the landscape. Each piece reflects the dynamic flow and turbulence of this unique coastal environment through expressive maiolica glaze decals and layered textures.

Handmade in County Down, Tracey’s work is deeply connected to the Irish landscape, creating vessels that celebrate discovery, nature, and the emotional pull of our coastlines.

These smaller pieces make a thoughtful gift or a beautiful addition to your home — perfect for shelves, side tables, or simply admired as sculptural objects in their own right 💙

Pop into the gallery to see them in person.
