Kiri Cottage Crafts is very happy to announce we are participating in the hugely popular Creative Peninsula again this year!
This is happening up and down the Peninsula between 27 July – 13 August 2023.
The Creative Peninsula is Northern Ireland’s premier celebration of professional Art and Craft.
Now in its 22nd year, and with some exciting changes afoot, this thriving annual event features exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations, all taking place in the picturesque Borough of Ards and North Down.
Our Borough is well knows for its many resident Artists and Makers and during Creative Peninsula visitors have the opportunity to view their work, make a purchase or a commission or try their hand at making something unique.
Follow the below links to explore the workshops I am running for this event.
This evening was a weaving workshop, part of the creative peninsula program of arts and crafts. Fiona worked on my schacht cricket loom, a small rigid heddle loom, and was well on her way to a masterpiece when time ran. So she took the loom home to finish her homework.
Two lovely ladies from England, mother and daughter, came along to a peg loom workshop this morning. Lots of things in common – greyhounds, lurchers, horses, crafts and Terry Pratchett.
I am starting to stockpile some hand spun for two special customers. Currently using ‘Dharma’ acid dyes with lovely results
Many thanks to Lorraine Small at the Walled Garden, Helen’s Bay for a great morning. The Makers’ Moot visited for a garden tour and talk about the heritage of, and future plans for the site.
