More than 30 women and men enjoyed an upcycling demonstration and a full day workshop in Swatragh
Members of Granaghan & District Women’s Group have been giving old furniture a new lease of life through a local upcycling project funded by the Housing Executive.
More than 30 women and men enjoyed an upcycling demonstration and a full day workshop in Swatragh in September.
Participants brought their own items to revamp, including wooden chairs and tables, photo frames, plant pots, and an old-fashioned writing bureau.
Deirdre Bradley, joint chair at Granaghan & District Women’s Group, said: “Over the last six years we’ve been involved with the Housing Executive.
“We’re always looking for new ways to bring members together and upcycling was something that people really wanted to try.
“We’re very thankful for the funding which enabled us to run two brilliant sessions.
“There was a lot of enthusiasm and it was a great opportunity for members to try something new and learn new skills. Everyone came away with the confidence to upcycle tired furniture, which is a great way to save money.”
