Crystal, Clay and Cloth - The Artisans of East Tyrone
A family DVD sparks a journey exploring the crafts and skills of recent industries in east Tyrone. What expertise and artistry went into these items of crystal, clay and cloth.
In Christmas 2015 Jimmy Devlin was shown a DVD of his uncle hand-making clay pipes and chimneys in 'Kelly's Yard', Coalisland. Unaware of what this job as a labourer entailed, it sparked a journey to find out more about his work and the craft and skills of others employed in the industries of crystal, clay and cloth in late 20th-century east Tyrone. With expertise honed over decades, the artistry was evident in produce shipped all over the world.
