The Craft & Design Collective has brought together Artist/Designer/Makers from across NI to create this innovative shop/gallery/exhibition area right in the city centre. Head up the Fountain Centre's escalator and indulge in a dazzling choice of handmade pieces you'll find nowhere else in town. From the modest to the more luxurious, and featuring everything from ceramics to stylish jewellery, fashion and interior accessories, Space CRAFT provides a relaxing alternative to the high street mêlée... and gives you the opportunity to support local Artist/Designer/Makers.
