Make lovely patchwork quilts and bags
The sense of achievement is incredible. I cant believe I made these beautiful things!
“I’ve never had so much fun making things that are not just useful but truly beautiful too. By the end of the full day workshop I’d made a unique bag and am planning to make a patchwork quilt as my next project. Its such fun and Karen is so patient, it doesn’t seem like a class.”
Karen runs weekly patchwork classes for all abilities from September to April. She also runs full day workshops on selected Saturdays through the year. Her shop sells patchwork fabrics, patterns and notions.

Learn how to sew
“My generation didn’t learn to
sew. But thanks to Kate at Lemonade
and Candy I now feel a whole new
world has opened up. We covered
so many aspects, like understanding
our machines, using patterns and
choosing fabrics and learned so many different
sewing techniques. There's so much I
can do now."
Kate removed the whole mystique around sewing, now it’s a joy, not a choreA textile artist, Kate offers a range of sewing classes and workshops for adults and children from the age of ten. One-to-one classes are also available. Machines and equipment can be provided and a range of fabric is also available to purchase.

Make felt accessories and decorations
Jacki says the only limit is your imagination, I ended up taking workshop after workshop to increase my range of skills
“Until I came to Jacki’s workshops I didn’t realise how many things you can make with felt. In just one session we learned all about the various wools to use and how to add surface colour and texture with decorative fi bres. So far I’ve made really professional beret, hats, wall hangings, table mats, scarves and bags.”
Jacki Sleator teaches felt-making to adults and children at private venues and art centres throughout Northern Ireland. Workshops can be adapted for beginners or those with experience.

Revamp your own furniture and make matching accessories
Emma and Joanne really helped ignite our inner creativity.
It’s amazing how you can transform
tired pieces of furniture into unique
masterpieces. We joined workshops in crafting, sewing
and painting and were soon creating fabulous cushions
and lampshades and revitalising
furniture with stylish upholstery and special paint
techniques.
I learned to unlock a creative side I didn’t know I had, turning boring household items into beautiful artefactsDollybird Vintage offer a range of sewing, upholstery and upcycling workshops for children and adults throughout the year.

How to spin yarn
Now I use the yarn I’ve spun myself for everything I knit or crochet.
“The countryside of Ulster was once full of yarn spinners, the basis of our world beating linen industry, so it felt like we were connecting to our heritage, learning to spin yarn with Janine. In a surprisingly short time we learned all about teasing, carding and using a spinning wheel and drop spindle.”
Based in Omagh, Janine offers classes to small groups and individuals. If you have your own spinning wheel, bring it along.

Make exquisite jewellery
Carol taught us all the basic
techniques of jewellery making in
the beginners’ class and we were soon creating the most
beautiful necklaces, bracelets and
earrings. Samurai warriors used the ancient Japanese
art of Kumihimo to lace their armour, but Carol uses a
modern adaptation of the braid to
create exquisite beaded bracelets
and necklaces.
Thanks to Carol, making jewellery is not just a hobby but a lifetime passionCarol runs beginners, Kumihimo and beaded stitching classes at her studio, four miles from Omagh. They are open to individuals or groups (minimum of four people). Classes last around three hours and include refreshments

Create beautiful Paverpol sculptures
It puts sculpture into the hands of ordinary people like me, it’s such a thrill
It was so fulfi lling actually sculpting beautiful pieces of artwork for the home and garden from all sorts of everyday objects such as wire, tin foil and an old t. shirt. Paverpol dries quickly but allows you enough time to shape your sculpture. Louise helped me make an elegant lady fi gurine and the amazing thing you take your fi nished piece home with you at the end of a one day workshop.
Louise delivers community arts classes in Paverpol sculpture to individuals and groups of all ages and abilities.

Learn to write creatively
They say everyone has a book in them, thanks to Emma I’ve started mine
I’ve always wanted to write, I just didn’t know how to start, until I met Emma. She taught us about developing characters, structuring our stories, how to write good dialogue and even had us writing in different genres by the end. She also gave us sound advice on how to get our work published.

several of her own special recipes – so many brilliant tips. We learned
how to stock and use a cook’s store

handiwork for lunch!

How to fly fish
There is no better way to unwind, boating in this tranquil idyll, waiting for the fish to bite
I’d wanted to try fl y fi shing for ages, but didn’t know how to start. This was the ideal way. All the equipment was supplied, the fi shery – a 12-acre stream-fed lake surrounded by rolling grassland and woodland – was packed with rainbow trout and the instructor who took me out on the boat made it seem like second nature.
Instruction/boats available by booking. A wheelie boat onsite caters for wheelchair and disabled anglers

until Chris took me in hand. He set
out a road map for improvement and
then worked on every aspect of my game, from putting to mental strength.
His coaching methods are really
innovative too, employing the latest technology used by
the top golfers.
Chris got my handicap down and my confidence up.

How to look after your horse
We had a brilliant holiday, and so did our horse!
It sounded funny when Dad said we were bringing our horse on holiday. But we all had a great time. They taught me all about grooming my horse, how to maintain the stable and lots of things I didn’t even know about, like plaiting. My horse is happy, now he’s treated like a king!

I was a little nervous to begin with but by the end of the session I felt like
I’d been on a horse all my life. After the lesson, we went on
a lovely trek and then spent the rest of the day learning
to look after a horse. It was hard to say goodbye to
mine at the end.
They really pull out all the stops to make sure you have an unforgettable day’s horse riding.

Paddle along a beautiful canoe trail
A perfect 20 kilometre trail along the Blackwater River - so fl at even a beginner like me had no problems. Half the fun is what you see on the way, including the beautiful Argory and Maghery Country Park, where the river fl ows into Lough Neagh. The experienced canoeists paddled on to magical Coney Island.
A fabulous way to get close to nature and enjoy a great work out at the same time.

Tackle world-class mountain bike trails
As a keen mountain biker I found the
single tracks a real challenge and
a great way to improve my skills. There’s a fantastic
choice, 13km of beautiful blue trails
to dramatic red/black technically
challenging loops something for all
the abilities. It’s so beautiful too, cycling
though woods and by lakes and a nature
reserve.
One of the finest trails in the UK or Ireland, its become a Mecca for mountain bike enthusiasts.
Set in the grounds of the Blessingbourne Country Estate, the trails were designed by Phil Saxena, course designer for the Beijing Olympics.

How to be a rally driver
If you want to experience the excitement of rally driving, this is the nearest to the real thing there is. High up on the extreme terrain of the Sperrin Mountains, we drove furiously around tight hairpins, fast straights, crests and medium corners. The professional tutor was brilliant, we couldn’t have been better prepared.

What a blast. We spent the morning
navigating the toughest terrain
you can imagine on an eight mile off
road driving course, then hit Ireland’s
longest zipline and spent an afternoon
in a paintballing frenzy. We could
have added body zorbing, clay pigeon
shooting and loads more. The adrenaline is still
pumping.
