As part of our Women in Industry Round Tables, we invite all Women working in the arts and the creative sector to join us for a virtual forum.
We know that you are talented and passionate about what you do, but you are often going it alone, making, creating, delivering or performing as well as being the marketeer, saleswoman and finance manager! Women in the creative sector need support from an understanding group of peers. Have important discussions while making valuable connections and learning from others. Hear from our expert panel and chat about your experiences and challenges in small groups. Whether you are at home or in the workshop, take the chance to share experiences with other Women, ask questions and get valuable support.
Who is this event for?
This event is for women working in the arts and creative sector and for women makers and locally led producers.Whether you design your own products, if you are an artist, performer or creator, all members are welcome- Individual, Corporate and Young Women's Network. This event is for all women in the workplace whether you are a business owner or employee at any stage of your career.

Caitlin is a knitwear designer based in her home studio in the heart of County Armagh. A 2023 graduate of Ulster University with a degree in Textile Art, Design and Fashion, she specialises in contemporary knitwear that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Caitlin’s creative journey began with selling handmade crafts on Etsy, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for creating. After graduation, she was selected for a year-long graduate scheme at The Designerie in Bushmills, where she developed her first knitwear collection and gained valuable experience selling her work at The Maker's House. Her knitwear continues to be stocked at The Designerie today. With continued encouragement and growing demand for her designs, Caitlin launched her own website to showcase and sell her handcrafted pieces. In 2025, her dedication to ethical fashion and sustainable practices was recognised when she won Best Green Business at the Women in Business Awards.
