Creative Connections is a new peer support and skills development network for creative makers across the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area.

Designed to be inspiring, practical and social, Creative Connections offers a welcoming space for makers to come together, share experiences, build skills, and connect with opportunities to grow both their creative practice and business.

Join us for an exciting opportunity to hear from two leading voices in Northern Ireland’s creative sector.

Clare Geddis – Wild Shore

Discover Clare’s inspiring journey behind Wild Shore. She’ll share what it really takes to run a small creative business - celebrating the highs, acknowledging the challenges, and offering practical advice for anyone building their own creative venture.

Craft NI

Hear from Craft NI, the sector-lead organisation supporting design-led contemporary craft makers across Northern Ireland. Learn how they can help you elevate your business through marketing support, retail opportunities, and pathways for growth.

Don’t miss this chance to gain valuable insights, connect with industry experts, and take your creative practice to the next level!

Our chosen venue is fully accessible, ensuring that everyone can join us for an inclusive workshop experience, with parking available.

This is the third of three events, while it is not essential for you to attend all, we strongly would encourage it to maximise your experience! Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to register early.

Registration instructions: This event is free for individuals. Please note, your email confirmation and eTicket will come from noreply@glistrr.com, please add this to your list of trusted accounts to prevent information landing in your junk folder.

Accessibility: Should you require any reasonable adjustments for this in person meet up, please get in touch with enievents@enterpriseni.com. 

Please note that the registration numbers are restricted because this is an in-person event. Whilst Go Succeed operates across NI, this event is being hosted by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, therefore should the event reach capacity and a waiting list is created, priority access will be given to businesses based in this council area.

This network is brought to you as part of Go Succeed NI. Go Succeed represents a significant investment in local entrepreneurs and businesses, funded by the UK Government.
