Kiri Cottage Crafts Club meets fortnightly (very loosely) on Tuesdays from 6pm to 9pm at my workshop located between Kircubbin and Portaferry Co Down, Northern Ireland.
We had really good fun at craft club this morning. Karen has finished her beautiful crochet blanket, all bar sewing in a few ends; Sharon is progressing with her weaving project and Jane with her embroidery; and Margaret and Miriam are knitting hats and jumpers.
I did a sample woven paper plate for my class at Ards Arts centre this evening.

We made fairy bell charms at Craft Club this morning. I love seeing all the different ideas coming from one group!
This is a lovely workshop to run. Everyone can use their imagination about colours, fabrics, and charms, bells and beads and we definitely always have great craic!
There was a great variety of projects on the go this morning at the craft club. We had Karen’s fabulous crocheted blanket, complete all bar the pom-poms, card making, knitting squares for charity blankets and spinning.
We had a change of pace for Kiri Cottage Crafts club this afternoon. Sharon invited us over to her premises for a pilot of her ‘Celtic Kraut’ fermentation workshop, and to hear about the land and sea connection with the Irish goddess Cliodhna.
Kiri Cottage Crafts Club was hosted by Jen today at her premises. We made Dorset Buttons from rings, wool and threads.
We used several different sizes of rings and our club members enjoyed coffee and cakes as well as producing varied colours and designs of buttons.
Sharon Regan came along to Kiri Cottage Craft club this morning to run a seashell and resin workshop. It was very enjoyable, and a bit challenging to those like myself who had not painted anything since school!
Kiri Cottage Crafts Club on 18 June 2024 will be a workshop with Sharon Regan Art. We will be working with seashells and resin – see photo below. Cost is £10 and the workshop will run from 10am – 1pm.

We had patchwork at Kiri Cottage craft club this morning, and a lovely ‘show and tell’ piece of stitching – a row of houses ready to be framed.
