Adult Craft Courses

2012/13 Crafts & Skills Brochure

Background information:

Every year the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum offers adult classes in a wide range of traditional arts and crafts. The Museum collections are used as the inspiration for these courses. Participants are taught how to use traditional ideas and techniques in a contemporary way.

If you would like to learn a new craft or make more of your skills, you simply have to decide which course interests you and send the booking form back to us with a cheque to cover payment.

Typical courses offered include:

  • Watercolours for both beginners and advanced students
  • Weaving
  • Card Making
  • Blacksmithing
  • Whitework
  • Textile Art
  • Goldthread embroidery
  • Scrapbooking
  • Candle making
  • Tiffany glass
  • Ballycultra Homemade Christmas

Where possible, items from the Museum’s collections are used as a basis for all the workshops.

If you have a group of 6 or more people, we may be able to organise some of the courses at a date and time that best suits you.
