Creative Peninsula August 2026 – “Heritage Craft Afternoon”
Join us at North Down Museum for an afternoon showcasing traditional craft skills and techniques that have been passed down through generations. Heritage crafts involve a significant degree of hand skill and play a vital role in preserving techniques and celebrating the creativity, history, and cultural richness of these traditional skills.
Take this unique opportunity to interact with artists and makers who will be providing free demonstrations in heritage crafts throughout the afternoon with traditional Aran knitting, natural dying, green woodwork and block printing amongst others.
You can also explore the collection at North Down Museum and enjoy a coffee at Coffee Cure!
Artists and makers demonstrating include Ruth Osborne, Wee Yarn Designs, Kimberley Ladd, Sarah Majury, Kiri Cottage Crafts, Simply Spun, Owen Crawford and Craig Sands
