Pots, Paints and Plays Documentary on BBC2 NI

We are proud to announce that our first documentary has aired on BBC2 NI!

Musician and broadcaster Gemma Bradley returns home to her rural roots to spend some quality creative time with three arts practitioners living and working in her native Mid Ulster.

She meets butcher turned painter Conor Larkin and observes his practice, both on location and in the studio, where she tries her hand at watercolour work, before learning how to throw a clay pot with ceramic artist Stephen McGuigan.

Gemma then heads to the Bardic theatre in Donaghmore, where actor Brian McMahon takes her through a performance workshop. Inspired by the artists, all of whom are making it work for themselves in the place where Gemma’s own creative journey began, she returns to the site of her first public performance, where she reflects on the importance of supporting talent and making space for creative people in rural Northern Ireland.

Thanks to Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Department for Communities for funding the project.

Available to watch now on BBC iPlayer: Pots, Paints and Plays with Gemma Bradley.
