Learn a new skill at the Tackling Textiles workshop at The Ballance House
Get creative and learn a new skill as Ballance House hosts a ‘Tackling Textiles’ workshop on the last Saturday in March.
In this workshop, which is hosted by the Ulster New Zealand Centre, students will ‘learn by doing’ simple visible mending techniques using creative stitching, patches and darning techniques adding character and style to your well-loved clothes.
The workshop will be led by an Education Officer from Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council.
All materials are provided and you will be able to take a sample kit home to continue your practice.


Starting at 10.15am on Saturday March 28 with that essential tea or coffee, this workshop runs until 12 noon.
There are only 15 places available at the workshop, so prompt booking is advised.
Attendance is priced at £5 per person.

Ballance House, the headquarters of the Ulster New Zealand Trust, is a restored 19th century homestead in the rural countryside of Glenavy.
