Did you know that August is the Craft Month in Northern Ireland? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we hope you are still enjoying the summer days, we would like to recommend the Irish Craft Heroes – 50 Makers X 50 Years <\/strong>outdoor exhibition, as part of the Belfast International Arts Festival, at the Ulster Museum just next to Queen’s. It is such a great opportunity not only to explore the local craft culture but also to taste the Irish language through the exhibition displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
