Rural Crafts
Rural Crafts
Bradkeel Farm provides a unique space in the Sperrin Mountains to partake in sometimes forgotten Rural Irish Craft workshops. Opportunities are provided throughout the year for people to immerse themselves into the natural world; the landscape; to use imagination; to explore and use materials grown and harvested from the farm; combining these to create products that can be beneficial not only for physical but mental health and wellbeing as well.
Examples of workshops offered:
· Scone Making
· Self-sufficiency; grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers
· Irish Tree Hedge Planting
· Wreath Making
· Jam Making
· Woodworking
Why Rural Creativity Matters
· Preservation of culture: Passing on to future generations
· Brings together people with shared interests
· Helps individuals to express themselves; sharing stories
· Used as a therapeutic tool for mental health and wellbeing
