Omagh Craft Collective

Promoting local crafts people from the Omagh and surrounding areas by running a permanent Gift Shop in Omagh Town Centre.

It’s a community interest company. Volunteer run for local craftspeople to showcase and sell their art and crafts.

Young Entrepreneur Programme currently running to help under 18s run their own craft business and are on the look out for new applicants.

Young Entrepreneur Programme provides guidance and a sales platform. In return the young person does not pay rent, or commission. They pay a percentage of their sales to Air ambulance NI, therefore, “giving back to the community.”

We also are looking for crafts that we currently do not have, so we’d like to invite crafts people who work with glass, willow and leather. We are also on the look out for food related gifts eg jams/chutneys in the near future.

Application packs are available from

omaghcraftcollective@gmail.com

Opening hours 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday. Closed Wednesdays January and February. Facebook link:

Michelle Butler Ceramics

Nestling in the shelter of the Sperrin Mountains, just north of Omagh, is a Stone Barn and Cottage. The home of Tyrone Ceramicist Michelle Butler. From her barn studio Michelle produces exquisite, rustic, original ceramics.

Michelle is a design graduate of The Falmouth School of Art. Since graduation she has specialised in the design and production of Ceramics. She has been producing her unique brand of Irish Ceramics since December 1998, when she started her business in the Omagh Enterprise Centre. Then in 2005, she established Sperrin Ceramics Studio in the refurbished Stone Barn at her home.

Michelle Butler Ceramics creates a unique range of handcrafted ceramic items from large pots to jewellery. Drawing inspiration from this beautiful rural location, Michelle has created a signature style with her Celtic Stone and Iron Stone collections that are highly sought after.

Michelle has developed a unique style which reconciles the influences of primitive Celtic Art and forms. All pieces are hand crafted from a textured stoneware clay. Her signature finish of rich metallic oxide adds both depth and lustre. The use of a variety of glazes adds to the pattern, relief and overall effect, creating ideal ceramic gifts.

Michelle’s Jewellery is an embodiment of all these influences in smaller exquisite forms. A smoother whiter stoneware clay is used for these beautiful, smaller items to give increased detail and charm.
