About the event

Creative Peninsula: Woven in Time
Join us at the Ulster Folk Museum for an afternoon of all things linen, gin tasting and screen printing as part of Creative Peninsula, run by Ards and North Down Culture.

Hear the inspiration for Echlinville Distilleries' unique gin while enjoying a refreshing flax seed-infused Weaver’s Dry Gin* at McCusker's, the Folk Museum’s original 1900s Pub.

Take a short walk to Ballydugan Weaver's House for a talk and demonstration by Roisin Aiston, the folk museum’s in-house linen weaver. You’ll hear about the process of linen making from flax to fibre and see our original loom in action.

Hear from Valerie Wilson, Curator of Textiles, on the museum’s outstanding textile collection and the linen gems it contains. She’ll also delve into the importance and impact of the linen industry on the province.

End the afternoon with print maker and Creative Peninsula artist Lucy Turner who will guide you through a hands-on activity where you will screen print onto linen, making your own unique piece of art to take home.
