October brought the Traditional Lace Makers of Ireland to the Art School. Our first event in the newly restored Community Room. Twelve Lace Makers came from all over Ireland to share, demonstrate and amaze their audience, that ranged in age from 7yrs to 85 years old , with their beautiful and versatile work. 

We are honoured to have the Traditionl Lace Makers of Ireland return with Lace Makers Guild of Northern Ireland, for a public event on April 27th 2022. From 1.30 to 4.30pm .

All Welcome to this Free afternoon event. Join Veronica Stuart and the Guild and learn, see and explore this wondrous traditional craft through an exhibition of the work and live demonstrations..

The history of lace making extends back to 1906 in the former convent. We are delighted to be reforming this historic bond and support this exceptional heritage craft.
