Creative Peninsula August 2026 – “The Shape of Human Touch”
An exhibition by Tracey Johnston
An ongoing and developing work of Tracey Johnston Ceramics at her artist residency with WWT Castle Espie. This exhibition reveals how art can hold both the present and the past: the shifting rhythms of the wetland today, and the industrial traces left 150 years ago when Castle Espie produced its own bricks. Through a blend of observation and creative experimentation, Tracey’s work invites visitors to explore how landscapes remember and are impacted by human hands.
Creative Peninsula, now in its 25th year, is a thriving annual festival of creativity taking place in the picturesque Borough of Ards and North Down. The region is well known for its many artists and makers and during Creative Peninsula visitors can view their work, purchase or commission a unique piece or art or try their hand in a workshop.
Why not join us for this celebration of creativity as part of August Craft Month!
