This evening was the first get together of the Kiri Cottage Craft Club. A small but select group of 5 crafters crocheted, embroidered and spun, shared stories and craic, coffee and cake.
We agreed that the club would meet one evening and one morning a month, as especially coming into the dark evenings, not everyone wants to venture out.
The very creative ladies and gentleman of Ballywalter Seniors Club made a herd of alpacas at their meeting last Monday.
Armed with felt, beads, ribbon and a rainbow of embroidery threads, they stitched their way through the session, most not even stopping to have their tea and sandwiches (well, until the pineapple delights arrived…).
Great, enthusiastic bunch – thank you all for an entertaining afternoon!
I have followed, and supported, Paddy for a number of years now and am delighted to say this harness weaving will most likely be a regular feature of the brand new Crafts Club!
I hosted a donkey harness weaving workshop for Finnigan Tools.
Paddy has engineered a unique, sustainable and welfare focussed method of making harness for donkeys, and we were privileged to learn the method and make some parts for the harness here at Kiri Cottage Crafts on the Ards Peninsula. They will be sent out to his working partner in Africa.
The first get-together of the Kiri Cottage Crafts Club meets on Tuesday 24th October 2023 from 6pm to 9pm at my workshop located between Kircubbin and Portaferry Co Down, Northern Ireland.
Bring what you are working on, or something you are ‘stuck’ with, or just come along to learn something new. If you can’t make the full 3 hours, just drop in when you can.
There is no fee – just a donation to our chosen charity: Equine Halfway House Rescue and Refuge, based in Lisburn.
Drop in for as long as you can for tea, coffee, buns and craic!

Hats off to Clive from from Welig Heritage Crafts, Portaferry, as he guided four of us through the process of weaving a hare from willow.

After a spinning and a peg loom workshop the third of my creative peninsula workshops was all about making bracelets with beads, using a number of different techniques.
